AN ENDLESS MEMORY by Marie Johnston
Release Date: August 15
Blurb:
Get married or move out. Those are my options, thanks to the trust my grandma left and my aunt is determined to enforce.
From Marie Johnston comes a single-mom, marriage-of-convenience romance.
If I don’t get married, I’ll have to find somewhere to live that I can afford with two kids and a lot of debt—and do it without losing my brand-new job. When my aunt confronts me on the move-out deadline, I try to buy time. I blurt out a name. I tell her I’m engaged to Eliot Knight.
Eliot’s my boss’s brother and he’s been around the vet clinic where I work. He’s hot. He’s charming. He’s who I’d pick if I had to marry someone at a moment’s notice. But he wasn’t supposed to hear me. He wasn’t supposed to get dragged into my mess. And he wasn’t supposed to agree to help me. Now, we’re Mr. and Mrs. Knight.
We only need to be married for a year, and he runs his family’s ranch in another town. Three hours away. Yet circumstances keep throwing us together, and I get a lot of time with my new husband. I fall hard the first time I hear him say, “My wife.”
But our lives are still separate. At the end of the year, I’m afraid I’ll get to keep my house, but I’ll lose my heart and be left with nothing but endless memories.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
I’ve been on a marriage-of-convenience kick lately, so An Endless Memory was right up my current trope alley!
I’ve really enjoyed getting to know this family, and I thought that Lily and her adorable kids are a great addition to the Knights. I loved how Elliot clicked with Cali right away, and seemed to be a baby whisperer with little Kellan.
Much of Lily and Elliot’s relationship is long-distance, and I really would have liked to have seen them together more. The times that they are together are great, and it feeds into the slow burn of this relationship. After all that Lily went through with her jerk of an ex, she deserved someone to treat her like a queen. And once Elliott got out of his own way, they got the HEA that they both deserved.
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
Meet Marie Johnston:
Marie Johnston is a RITA® Finalist, and a best-selling and award-winning writer of paranormal and contemporary romance – and an avid reader of them both.
Several years ago, when kids started outnumbering adults in the house, Marie Johnston left her job as a public health microbiologist to stay at home. Settling into working part-time and shuttling kids around gave Marie the opportunity to think about what she wanted to be when she grew up. A die-hard science geek, she explored her previously thought to be non-existent creative side after much time spent making snowman crafts and coloring princesses. Having entertained thoughts of writing a book one day then subsequently deciding it would be too hard, she finally put the figurative pen to paper and began to type – and fell in love with story telling.
The Sigma Menace is the first series by Marie with Fever Claim being her first book EVER. She is humbled by the fact that people are willing to read to her books and looks forward to keeping readers entertained for many years.
Marie lives with her husband and four kids in North Dakota where the summers are gorgeous, the winters are brutal, and spring and fall are luxuries.
