The Reality of Ever After

What happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas.

Chad:

When I suggested my best friend, Blake, sign up for a reality dating show, I never imagined we’d end up here in Vegas, celebrating his upcoming wedding to another man. I’m thrilled for them.

Two grooms means twice as many guys for us to party with this weekend and I know it’ll be the best bachelor party ever!

I’ve seen how happy Liam makes Blake, and I hope that I can find a love like that one day.

The Reality of Ever After is a 52k word novella set after the events of books one and two of the Love Without Labels series. It included seven POVs: Blake, Liam, Kieran, and Jace from season one, and introduces Chad, John, and Ash, who will have upcoming books. This is not intended to be read as a standalone. It serves two purposes:

  • Extended epilogue content for readers of Season One of Love Without Labels (Him + Bully) to show you Blake and Liam's bachelor weekend in Vegas, and...

  • A prequel establishing the foundation for a future couple (Wanting My Husband)

This novella ends with a HFN for the main men of Wanting My Husband, and helps you get to know a main character in The Reality of Wanting Them a little better. We promise, they will ALL get their happily ever afters. This is just a piece of their journey to get there!
