FOREVER STARTS NOW
“Emotional, realistic, and steamy... Overall, this book was incredible.””
What happens when two people who’ve given up on forever find it in each other…?
Single men are as scarce in Forever Falls as a vegetarian at a barbecue. That is, until Ethan Hammersmith moves in. After his fiancée gave him an ultimatum, he left Australia and never looked back. He isn’t in America to find a new girlfriend, though. He’s searching for the father he never knew. But now it’s like he has a flashing sign above his head that says “available.” Thankfully, the manager of the local diner is willing to give him cover—if only she weren’t so distractingly adorable.
Monroe Roberts, town misanthrope and divorcée, knocked “forever” permanently off her wish list ever since the love of her life skipped town with the cliché yoga instructor. And good riddance. She’s got this struggling diner to keep her busy, trying anything to boost sales…until a hot Australian strolls in and changes everything. Monroe’s restaurant is packed full of women who aren’t there to order food, unless Ethan is on the menu. This could sink her business faster than ever. So—light bulb—what if they pretend to be together?
It sounded like the perfect plan. It hilariously was not...

Excerpt from Forever Starts Now
Ethan Hammersmith had never resented his name until the first Thor movie came out. Then the fact that he bore a striking resemblance to the lead actor and had the word “hammer” in his name became something of a joke. That he could laugh off. But when he packed his bags and headed to the U.S., it became more of an issue.
Because now people noticed his accent, too.
And they were looking at Ethan like he wasn’t Ethan at all. Oh no, apparently it had gotten around the picturesque town of Forever Falls that Chris Hemsworth was there scouting a movie location. Now people had started approaching him for autographs, no matter how much he protested.
This was precisely how a man who was six feet three inches and built like a brick shithouse, as his father used to say, came to be hiding from a group of women who barely looked like they could lift a slab of beer between them.
But size, Ethan had come to realize, had nothing to do with fear.
He pressed his back against the side of the brick building, hoping that the group of women who’d been tailing him would pass right by the alley so he could get on with his day. Not to mention get some breakfast so his stomach would stop growling. Was that too much to ask? All he wanted was a little peace and quiet.
His plans to slink around Forever Falls, gathering information unnoticed, had been blown sky high the first day he’d set foot into the town. Despite the out-of-the-way accommodation and dressing to blend in, a single woman with an iPhone had ruined everything.
What the hell would Chris Hemsworth be doing here of all places? Sure, it was a cute town and he could see how in summer it would be very attractive to tourists. But currently it was at the tail end of winter, half the businesses were shut and waiting out the slow season, and the ground was covered in slushy gray remnants of snow. Oh, and it was colder than a polar bear’s toenail.
Not exactly the destination for a box office star.
“I swear, I thought I saw him turn down here.” One of the female voices sounded from the end of the alley.
“Maybe he went into the post office,” another woman replied. “Damn. I was really hoping to get a closer look at him. I’ve been stalking his Instagram and he hasn’t posted a story in over a week. Well, not one that he filmed himself anyway.”
“See!” the first voice said. “I told you. It’s definitely him.”
Ethan rolled his eyes. For a moment he thought about approaching the women to clear things up, but what good would it do? How did the old saying go? The lady doth protest too much? Well, in this case it would be more like the doppelgänger doth protest too much.
At least if he failed in his mission here, then he had a fall back option: Chris Hemsworth impersonator. Luckily his mother had been born over on this side of the world, which had afforded him an American passport to travel on. Maybe he could move to New York, set up camp at Times Square, and grow his hair long. He’d probably make more than what he did now, traveling from town to town doing menial labor.
It was a good thing his former career had left him with a big fat nest egg, or traipsing around America looking for a dead man would not have been feasible.
