Ripe For Reader: Release Blitz & Review - THE ONE I STOOD BESIDE by Piper Rayne

The One I Stood Beside by Piper Rayne is now live!

It’s the classic story—best friends since childhood agree to a fake marriage, thinking they can pretend to love each other without their relationship changing.

Jude would do anything for me. He’s stood by my side since we were six, and I’ve done the same for him.

When my father dies, leaving our family farm drowning in debt and on the brink of being auctioned, I’m not surprised Jude steps in to help. I just never dreamed he’d fall to bended knee and devise a plan for us to fool everyone into thinking there’s more than a lifelong friendship between us.

Soon, I’m moving into his house, we’re planning a wedding on his family’s ranch, and we discover a new side to our relationship. I keep reminding myself it’s not real—it’s only to secure a loan to save the farm.

I’ve secretly loved Jude all my life, and now that I know how good we are together, I’m not sure we can return to being just friends.

What a wonderful best friends to forever lovers, marriage of convenience, grumpy/sunshine couple that will steal your hearts. Emotions are high but we still get that traditional witty banter that this author duo bring to the pages.

All those years ago Sadie was that person that Jude needed to lean on, just being their for him in whatever capacity was needed. It lead them to a special bond and a friendship that was unlike anything. But somewhere the feelings started to cross the lines and they were too afraid to tell one another. It's Jude's turn to be the leaning post and to help where he can.

Grab your copy and enjoy the adventure on the farm as these two figure out the next path in their story.

I can't wait for the next book.
