Nathan Hemingway was looking for a wife...

Protect the family. That is my duty.
At least, that's what I tell myself when I learn of mom's untimely death.
As the oldest, I must oversee our family estate.
There's only one problem: to do that, I have to be married...
...and I haven't even had a girlfriend in years.

I meet Ciara online, and she is perfect.
Cute. Friendly. And best of all, not in love with me.
We make a deal: get married for the estate and don't catch feelings.
But what do I do when I can't hold up my end of the bargain?

Not falling in love has never been so hard.

It Started in the Chatroom is a marriage of convenience story loosely based on the classic Cinderella tale. Readers should be prepared for laugh-out-loud moments, a cooking class gone awry, and the swoon that comes with falling in love unexpectedly. This is the first book in the series, but readers can enjoy it as a standalone.
