Forsaken Trail by Devney Perry is now live!
Aria Saint-James has planned the perfect getaway: sweatpants, takeout and two weeks alone with her sister and nephew. Nowhere on that list is wearing a low-cut dress and uncomfortable heels to attend a wedding where she knows neither the bride nor the groom. Toss in her nemesis, Brody Carmichael, and her road trip to Arizona is officially a bust.
But at least there is champagne.
She blames the bubbly for falling into bed with Brody that night. Enemy or no, the billionaire is irresistible in a tux. But after their one-night tryst, Aria has no choice but to cut her vacation short, returning home to escape his devilish smile, vowing never to see Brody again.
Except Aria gets a surprise a few weeks later--she's pregnant. When he learns that she's carrying his child, Brody offers Aria the chance of a lifetime. The catch? She has to live under his roof until the baby is born.
Either they'll kill each other in nine months. Or discover love buried beneath their hate.

Excerpt
The whirl of tires and the hum of an engine filled the air before she could answer. A shiny black Jaguar came down the driveway and my heart dropped.
No. That son of a bitch Brody Carmichael was going to ruin my vacation.
“He’s supposed to be gone.” If he dared encroach on my time with Clara, I’d sneak poison ivy into his bed.
“It’s not his fault.” Clara sighed, quick to defend her boss.
“Did his private plane not have enough spiced cashews for his liking? Surely he can afford jet fuel.”
The second-best part of this week, besides Clara and Gus, was Brody’s scheduled absence. Clara knew there was no love lost between me and her boss, so she’d suggested travel dates that coincided with his vacation.
Yet here he was, parking a car that likely cost more than all of my worldly possessions combined.
Brody parked behind the Cadillac and stepped out of his car, sliding the sunglasses off his face. He wore a navy suit tailored to perfection around his broad shoulders and long legs. In the years I’d known him, I’d never seen him in anything but a suit. Did he not own jeans?
“Brody!” August raced over, holding up a hand for a high five. “Aunt Aria is here. We’re gonna open my presents.”
“I see that.” Brody’s lips turned up in a smile. Barely.
If the man ever learned how to deliver one properly, actually show some teeth, he’d be devastating. Especially with the dark, trimmed beard he’d grown a few years ago. It gave him a sexy edge. Or it would have, if his perpetually sour mood wasn’t such a major turnoff.
He definitely, definitely didn’t turn me on. Oh no.
Broderick Carmichael was enemy number one.
What I thought about Forsaken Trail
Aria Saint-James is next up on the Cadillic's journey home in this road
trip story that chronicles the adult lives of a group of
runaway/homeless teens who's goal is to return the refurbished Cadillac
they used to sleep in to it's rightful owner. The journey is almost
complete, but first Aria's story.
Aria takes the car to Arizona
to meet up with her sister who works for Brody Carmichael, a rich and
successful billionaire she can't stand. But when her sister is unable to
meet a family obligation, Aria steps in and goes to the wedding neither
she or Broday wants to attend. That means plenty of booze. When Brody
and Aria find some common ground in their alcohol induced evening,
things take a turn when Aria discovers she's pregnant.
To say
it's a surprise is an understatement, but she's not quite ready for
Brody's All-In attitude toward the pregnancy, but she agrees to live
with him while she's pregnant.
It takes a bit, but Aria and
Brody are able to find that common ground again and again as they spend
more time together. They fall for each other, but the problem is that
Aria is determined to take care of herself and make her own decisions,
and Brody doesn't really understand this until it's almost too late.
I
love unexpected baby stories and this one was a joy to read. I did love
Aria's strength and determination forged by her past, and I loved how
Brody embraced his situation with all he had, even though his actions
were a bit manipulative at times. It all comes back to bite him.
I've been loving this road trip series, and Forsaken Trail did not disappoint. Looking forward to the next leg in the journey.
