Welcome!

I’m Susan Meier, author of over ninety books. My career has been undergoing some changes recently. I’m now self-publishing some of my books. That’s exciting for you because I have more price control. But I’m also still publishing some wonderful books with Harlequin.  No one does romance as well as Harlequin. LOL

In July, I finished my latest book. I don’t have a pub date yet but I’m sure I will soon. It’s a wonderful story of a hero whose wife died. Dylan Olsen was so busy with his company that he neglected their marriage, and he is full of regret and remorse. He also vows never to marry again.

Unfortunately, his uncle had provided the money he needed for his company start up and Dylan gave him stock in the new company with the provision that his uncle would sell it back. But—worried that Dylan is ruining his life—Uncle Dom won’t sell the stock back to Dylan until he’s married. (Sometimes our relatives see what we need in our life more than we do. LOL) A few years go by with his uncle remaining stubborn. The hero realizes that while he does have to get married for real, he doesn’t have to stay married…As long as he and his bride both know the marriage is temporary.

Enter Lilibet McDonald, a professional problem solver who is dead broke. Her parents want her to go to law school, but she knows in her heart being a lawyer is not what she wants to do with the rest of her life. Dylan offers her enough money to jumpstart her career, if she will marry him for four months. Out of options, she agrees.

But as they get to know each other, their physical attraction grows until reality and their marriage ruse become confused.

Dylan doesn’t want to be in another bad relationship. He certainly doesn’t want to hurt another woman. But Lilibet can’t help falling head over heels for the billionaire who needs to realize he’s a good person, with a big heart, who deserves a second chance.

Despite its serious topics, The Marriage Ruse is a light, fun book, sure to warm your heart. You’ll find yourself rooting for Dylan, who more than anyone deserves a happily ever after.

I’ll let you know of the release date when I know it!

Until then, happy reading!
