They say all is fair in love and war. Clearly, they haven’t met Warner Landers.
The ruthless billionaire had me begging him to spare my family’s restaurant from a buyout. In response, he shamelessly flirted and walked away wearing a smug smirk.
Karma strikes, literally, when he crosses the street.
Unconscious, he’s rushed to the hospital, and for some unknown reason, I’m swept in right after him as if I know this man—or worse, that I’m married to him.
Am I in too much shock to deny the allegation? Yes.
Am I still using his short-term amnesia to my advantage? Absolutely.
Playing the doting wife to a grumpy CEO won’t be easy, but I’m determined to save my family’s livelihood. I just didn’t expect him to be a changed man after the accident. Far graver (for me), the iciness between us begins to thaw, and our fake marriage starts to feel real, making it easy to forget my mission.
When his memory begins to return, so does the truth. We’re at war, and falling for the enemy wasn’t part of the plan.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
Love & Warner by S.L. Scott kind of reminded me of the movie While You Were Sleeping. Delaney is trying to convince alphahole billionaire Warner Landers not to sell the property that includes her family’s beloved restaurant when he gets hit by a car crossing a street in New York City. Suddenly, Delaney finds herself along for the ride to the hospital and mistaken for Warner’s wife. And since the accident gave Warner a bit of amnesia, Delaney has the opportunity to continue her ruse and convince the CEO not to sell her family’s building.
But as she takes care of the injured billionaire, lines cross, and feelings start to develop. And then Warner’s memory starts to return….
Suzie wrote a great siow-burn romance as Warner and Delaney started to fall for one another. Even though he suspected she was keeping something big from him (oh, like the fact that she was lying about being his wife!), there were some really sweet and tender moments between the two characters. For a lot of this story, I had to not focus on the lie Delaney was keeping. Even though she was trying to protect her family’s business, she was in the wrong for lying to him the way she was. The hole Delany dug for herself kept getting bigger and bigger as this story progressed, so of course, it was bound to explode spectacularly.
At first glance, Warner is the typical cold, arrogant CEO. But as he began to let his guard down around Delaney, the reader got to see a much different side to the character, who was actually more of a lonely guy living in an ivory tower with little substance in his life that filled his cup. He got that and then some through his relationship with Delaney, and he really changed and grew as a person in this redemption tale.
Overall, this was quite enjoyable. Suzie always delivers.
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
