Xeni is a delightful, lighthearted romance that captivates me. Readers who adore stories about love, family drama, and self-discovery, particularly those who appreciate biracial and bisexual representation, are looking for a heartwarming tale of a marriage of convenience that blossoms into something more.
Xeni Everly-Wilkins has ten days to clean out her recently departed aunt’s massive colonial in Upstate New York. With the feud between her mom and her sisters still raging even in death, she knows this will be no easy task. Still, when she hears what she gets as an inheritance from her aunt, Xeni quickly discovers the decades-old drama between the former R&B singers is just the beginning.
The Secrets, lies, and a ton of cash spilled on her lawyer’s conference room table all come with terms and conditions. Xeni must marry before claiming the estate that will set her up for life, and her aunt has just the groom in mind—the ruggedly handsome and deliciously thick Scotsman who showed up at her aunt’s memorial with bagpipes.
When his dear friend and mentor Sable Everly passed away, Mason McInroy knew she would leave a sizable hole in his heart. He never imagined she’d leave him more than enough money to settle the debt, keeping him from returning home to Scotland. He also never imagined that Sable would use her dying breaths to play matchmaker, trapping Mason and her beautiful niece in a marriage scheme that comes with more complications than they need.
With no choice but to say I do, the unlikely pair try to make the best of a messy situation. Xeni & Mason had no plans to fall in love.
