First Comes Marriage

Aster Bay: Book Three

She can hide from the press, but she can’t hide from love.

Broadway actress Hannah Matthews is no stranger to the spotlight, but she never anticipated starring in her very own tabloid scandal, complete with a photographer on her fire escape. A couple of weeks in a quaint New England guest room would be the perfect place to lay low—if only that guest room didn't belong to her no-strings hook-up buddy.

Ethan Hart loves his hometown almost as much as he loves his privacy. Not even his best friends know the vineyard owner moonlights as one of romance’s spiciest audiobook narrators—or that he’s falling for a woman hellbent on keeping him in the friends-with-benefits zone. Until they become roommates…

Flirty dates over milkshakes and quirky museums are easy, but Hannah can’t hide forever and Ethan doesn’t belong in her world. When the paparazzi intrude on their small town escape, Hannah and Ethan are suddenly thrust into the limelight.

And figuring out your feelings is harder when they’re splashed across the front page.


Claim to Fame is a spicy celebrity romance with found family, Notting Hill vibes, and a guaranteed HEA.
