Riven Knight

Genevieve thought her twenty-seventh birthday would be bad enough without a judge throwing a curveball—suddenly, she's married to Isaiah Reynolds, a broken, guarded mechanic she barely knows, all because he's the only thing standing between her and a murderer loose in Clifton Forge. With her mother's secrets still unraveling and her family relationships hanging by a thread, Genevieve finds herself trapped in a marriage of protection with a man whose wounded eyes hint at pain she can't begin to understand. But as Isaiah moves into her tiny apartment and they navigate this strange new reality together, there's an undeniable chemistry simmering beneath the surface—and maybe, just maybe, two broken people can find healing in the last place either of them expected. Devney Perry delivers a swoon-worthy, emotionally complex romance that proves sometimes the best love stories start with the most unconventional beginnings.
