Pretending to be my enemy’s girlfriend is a recipe for disaster…but he made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.Danny was my first love but he sabotaged me when we were competing for one of the most lucrative art scholarships. That’s when he became my number one enemy and I kissed his sweet ass good-bye.That was nearly a decade ago.And all these years later, I still hate him.While he’s thrived and … later, I still hate him.
While he’s thrived and succeeded in the art world, I’m still nothing more than a starving artist.
He owns his own home and art gallery. I sell pieces of my work online to split the rent with my roommate.
Fate has a funny way of bringing people back together.
Now he needs my help faking a relationship so he can receive his father’s inheritance and move to the other side of the country where his fame will continue to soar.
The idea of never seeing him again has me agreeing to almost anything. There’s just one problem: the closer we work together, the less I’m sure that I want him to go.

This was a sweet second chance story about Jenny and Danny. Really liked the good writing and easy flow of the story.
Can “His Sweet Pea” See She Was Always Meant To Be IT For Him…
He Stole My LIFE,
Now I’ve gotta Pretend to wanna Become His WIFE!!
Irony… Should Be a FOUR letter Word!
To get where I NEED to be I’ve gotta Cozy UP to My ENEMY,
How’s that Fair… It’d be Poetic Justice, if I could Turn Him Down & watch Him Drown!
Alas… That’s NOT meant to be, Cuz that’s NOT ME,
As I’m still Highly attracted to the Insufferable BEAST!
And He has the audacity to call ME “His Sweet Pea” like it’s a PET NAME!
And then, before LONG, were actually mak’n a GO of the REAL DEAL!
Will this Turn OUT Sour, or Sweet, for these Art LOV’N fools!?!

Oh, this was so funny and honest, and sexy and I loved it! Danny and Jenny were friends in high school before a huge fallout and come face to face again after almost 10 years. Their reconnection is amazing and the chemistry is sizzling. Danny’s mom is awesome! I couldn’t get enough that I read it in one sitting.

I loved the “hate to love” theme in this book. It was fun to read about how Danny & Jenny would weather their storm & finally realise that it’s fated that they should be together.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book to everyone – It’s a sweet, beautifully told story that melts the heart & puts a smile on your face!
Well done Vivian. A very eloquently written story. I look forward to more!
A wonderfully sweet story that I enjoyed and recommend. Jenny Samples and Danny Evans who were in high school together and had a secret crush on each other. Jenny joined the arts department because Danny was there. Partnered together on a art project to win a art scholarship Danny betrays Jenny and she is crushed.
Years later their paths cross again. It doesn’t;t go well between them. Danny’s mother Carol interferes which is the start of awkward relationship, which then becomes the start of a sweet story filled with plenty of sexual tension and chemistry that ignites the feelings of what’s ahead.
Jenny and Danny have known each other since high school but by chance they meet again. See they hate each other in high school they both had crushes on one another but never said anything then competition and sabotage get in the way. Fast forward to now and Jenny art work is on show in his gallery and now danny mom has seen Jenny and gives him an ultimatum.
Will this work or will his sweetpea be gone forever.

Second chance…
Sometimes second chances come when you least expect. In Jenny and Danny’s case, it comes even when they don’t want one. A past betrayal drove a very big wedge between the two but a meddling mother is determined to reunite the two. Will she succeed? I learnt a long time ago to never bet against a determined mom.

What happens when the villain in you story crashes unexpectedly back into your life? This sweet enemies to lovers tale shows us that there’s always a possibility of a second chance when an apology is genuine and forgiveness is inevitable. It also doesn’t hurt when there’s killer chemistry.
Danny and Jenny were friends in school however they got close during an art project that was a competition for a scholarship. Danny sabotaged Jenny’s chance to win and he got everything he wanted in his life. Years later Jenny is a struggling artist trying to get her big break when she gets a chance at a very prestigious gallery. However when she was delivery her artwork she finds out that Danny owns the gallery and she can tell that he really doesn’t want her there. Danny goes ahead and let’s her show her work never expecting how many people would be interested in it. When he finds Jenny and his mother talking he knows it’ll lead to trouble. His mother tells him that Jenny is perfect for him and he needs to date her. When he disagrees she basically threatens his inheritance so he goes and talks Jenny into a fake relationship. How long before their fake relationship becomes very real between them?
This is a steamy hot story that will catch your attention from the first chapter. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Would you, or could you, ever forgive someone that sabotage’s your future? How about if you ran into them years later, and they had a chance to decide your fate again, but there’s a catch? That’s exactly what happens between Danny and Jenny when she’s given the opportunity to show her art as a last minute addition at an art gallery. But, she doesn’t know it’s owned by the one person that destroyed her chance at a real chance of making a name for herself so many years ago. I love the premise of this story, and really enjoyed sharing in the journey as they rediscover themselves while trying to maintain a fake relationship. The fake part doesn’t last very long, and they both come clean about the long-standing feelings they have for each other. In the end it all works out, and they get their HEA, which made my heart happy.

hard to keep a straight face. Danny and Jenny were close in school before he sabotaged her. Now she wants nothing to do with him but they discover they still have feelings for each other. Will that be enough to help them through what’s happening between them?

So, do you show your art in the gallery of enemy #1? Jenny Samples is almost a starving artist with no way to show her work other than online. When an artist bows out of a gallery showing, she is approached by the gallery assistant and asked if she’d like to participate. Of course, she would….well, until she sees who the owner is. Danny Evans, the last person she wants to see near her art, is a former boyfriend who stole her scholarship by sabotaging her art. In a case of sheer irony, he needs her to act like they’re together so that he can get his inheritance. Faking a romance can’t be that difficult, can it? When you’ve got a past together, maybe it’s not quite so easy. This is a sweet story that gives you every hope that the future will be happy for them!
I thoroughly enjoyed every part of this book!!!! Vivian Ward is so talented!!!! This book was amazing!!!!!

Jenny is an accomplished artist and she is given a chance to show her work at a gallery event where buyers and collectors will be coming. Turns out the gallery is owned and run by her high school crush, Danny. He ruined her chance at a prestigious school scholarship and that’s how he got ahead. His mom wants them back together to give him his inheritance. Can he win Jenny back?
Jenny Samples is a talented artist who is looking for her big break. She gets a chance to show a few pieces at a gallery after they had an artist cancel at the last minute. What she doesn’t know until she arrives that night is that the owner of the gallery is none other than Danny Evans, the boyfriend she had in high school who sabotaged her work and stole the art scholarship from her! She has not heard from him in 8 years and now he is a wealthy Art Gallery owner hob-nobbing with the Art Elite.
Danny is not a happy man. He is so busy running the gallery he no longer has any time for painting and is even rarely home. He regrets what he did to Jenny back in high school and has felt guilty for it all these years. When his mother wants him to get back together with Jenny to get his inheritance early, it sounds like something he would really like to do.
Offering a fake romance to Jenny in return for exposure for her art sounds like a win-win for them both but when real feelings come into play, will they be able to keep them at bay? Or will it be high school all over again and someone getting hurt?
This is a quick, enjoyable novella in the May Flowers Series and I love everything Vivian Ward writes!

This is a great second chance romance. Danny and Jenny knew each other in high school, but Danny sabotaged her final art work. Now he is regretting it and his mother thinks they will make a great couple. You will have to read this wonderful story to find out what happens. Enjoy
I really love these themed books that the Flirt Club create and release. This one is no different. Meet Danny who is a successful art gallery owner but has regrets on what it ultimately cost him so many years ago. Meet Jenny who is a struggling artist, she has a grudge and blames Danny for sabotaging everything so many years ago. We have a third party, Mr. Preddy that works for Danny but represents Jenny and he brings the two together again. Sparks literally fly as tempers flare and chemistry ignites. This is a great story of how Danny and Jenny mend the past to exist together in the present. But what if they completely repair the past, do they have a shot at the future? Danny’s Mom, Carol believes so and she does everything in her power to assist them along.

This second chance romance between high school enemies is a fun short read that at times had me giggling with the twists that are thrown in there. Characters are well developed and engaging and the storyline flowed smoothly.
