GATHERING STORMS
Lex Martin
Release Date: July 9
Meet Lex Martin:
Lex Martin is the USA Today bestselling author of Varsity Dads, Texas Nights, and the Dearest series. She writes contemporary romance novels, the steamy kind she hopes readers love but her parents avoid.
She’s always been obsessed with writing, starting in elementary school when she would pen short stories and make her father read them. (Afterward, he’d have to take her tests, but he was a good sport and did them without complaint.)
In high school, when she wasn’t playing basketball, she wrote emo poetry (that won awards, go figure) and worked on the school newspaper.
She later became a nationally-certified high school English teacher and freelance journalist but decided she’d rather write romance novels than tests or city hall articles.
Lex loves coffee, rom coms, pen hoarding, planners, and college football. She married her almost college sweetheart (they met right after graduation), and she’s still obsessed with him, especially when he writes her songs.
She currently resides in her hometown of San Antonio with her husband, twin daughters, a bunny, and their new puppy. Drop her a line at lex (at) lexmartinwrites.com. She loves hearing from readers.
Lex is represented by Kimberly Brower of Brower Literary & Management.

Blurb:
What’s more complicated than a marriage of convenience? Falling for your husband.
After losing my apartment and librarian job in the same week, I’ve hit rock bottom. That’s the only reason I consider Jace Walker’s offer to be his toddler’s nanny while he goes on a national tour.
I don’t even like the man. But he recently had a baby he didn’t know about dumped on his doorstep, and for once in his charmed life, he’s as desperate as I am.
The plan seems simple—until his label says only spouses can join the tour. And Jace Walker, it turns out, would rather lose the chance of a lifetime than leave his daughter behind.
So when he asks if I’d consider marrying him, I know exactly what I am: His last resort.
I agree to his four-month marriage, convinced he’ll never tempt me. Besides, he’s too charming, too handsome, too talented to look twice at a bookworm. I have walls up for good reasons.
Except life on the road with this rugged cowboy has other plans—bandmates who resent me, his conniving ex who joins the tour, and a deranged fan who leaves us creepy gifts.
And nothing prepares me for Jace himself. The man underneath the charm. The father who’d give up everything for his daughter. The one who makes me feel things I buried a long time ago—and the storm building between us reminds me exactly why I buried them.
If you enjoy reformed playboys, swoony cowboys, single dads who adore their daughters, or prickly, closed-off librarians who would rather read than hang out with country stars, this one is for you!
