Blurb:
Alder Duke was my high school sweetheart turned husband, then he became a stranger who wanted his freedom. I gave it to him.
Fifteen years later, I’m a single mom who desperately needs a place to live. He’s a powerful CEO who needs a wife in order to get the house he grew up in, thanks to a trust his grandma left behind.
He makes a deal with me: get married to him—again—and live with him for a year. Once the house is in his name, we can divorce—again—and he’ll rent the place to me.
Just one year. No strings. No feelings. Simple.
But nothing about my ex-husband is simple. Gone is the man who wanted to stay out all night drinking with his buddies. This Alder cooks and cleans and unclogs sinks in gray sweatpants. He gets my stubborn daughter to like him. And with me? He looks at me like I’m the only woman in the world.
I can’t fall for his sweet daisy whispers. I know how it ends. This time we planned it. My life was already derailed by him once, and I barely came out intact. He’s had my heart forever, but he only gets one year.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
I absolutely loved Alder and Daisy’s story in Daisy Whispers! This was a lovely second-chance romance with a twist between a divorced couple: Duke needs a wife to inherit the house his grandmother left him, and Daisy needs a new place to live ASAP with her young daughter. For a year, they’ll pretend to be married, and he’ll let Daisy rent the house after their time is up.
My favorite parts of the book were seeing Alder and Daisy fall in love with the *new* versions of one another. He knew how much he’d messed up, throwing away their marriage 15 years ago because he didn’t want to grow up. Since then, he’s spent every day making something of himself, and he never got over his wife. Daisy is hesitant to trust Alder, and rightfully so, but he wears her down little by little and shows her what their new life could be. There’s another layer for her with her ex, Jason, her daughter’s father, and her guilt over their romance and how she wasn’t as invested in it as he was. There is a lot for Daisy to unpack, and Alder puts in the work every step of the way, taking care of her, providing for her, and just showing her that he’s now a different man.
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.
