The Uninvited Ex: 1

Famous Hollywood producer Sage Valentine will do anything to stop her ex-wife's wedding.She's been living on a sailboat since the divorce, avoiding her own phone and doing an excellent job of not thinking about Olivia - right up until she opens a magazine and finds her ex-wife's wedding announcement looking back at her. Sage sells the boat that afternoon.There's one problem. After what she did to that marriage, Sage isn't getting anywhere near Olivia's family. So she hires a failed improv actor who's been living in his car, calls him a wellness guru, and walks him through the front door as the subject of a documentary that does not exist.It works perfectly until her fake guru gets a job offer, the groundskeeper ends up in the koi pond, a chipmunk destroys a very expensive jacket, and her oldest friend, an Academy Award-nominated actress who begged her not to do this, has to sit through a rehearsal dinner with the whole thing in her pocket.Olivia clocked the con from the moment she laid eyes on Sage.She's saying nothing. Because Olivia Scranton is an icy corporate litigator who has never missed a detail in her life. She's marrying a woman she chose the way you'd choose a juror - kind, steady, and impossible to be hurt by. The moment she says one word about that guru, everyone she loves will know that Sage can still get to her.So they circle each other all week. Sage building bigger and bigger lies because she doesn't know how to hand anybody a feeling without wrapping it in something enormous first. Olivia refusing to look at any of it, because she nearly didn't survive the last time.Two women who are magnificent at performing love and hopeless at admitting it.And one wedding that nobody is getting through in one piece.A funny, filthy, big-hearted sapphic rom-com about grand gestures, terrible ideas, and the difference between a beautiful production and one plain true sentence. The Uninvited Ex is the first book in the Sunshine & Scandals series. Three weddings. Three disasters. Three happy ever afters.
