Never Date the Minister by Julia Kent
Accidental poisonings. Unexpected tidal waves. Jealous stepsisters. Brides caught cheating in the coatroom at the reception.
Just a typical day at work, when you’re a wedding protector.
And Nessa Martini, the newest and youngest member on staff, is doing her best to fix it all.
Starting with her own chaotic life.
A one-night stand with a hot bodybuilding social media influencer who turns out to be a minister is not Nessa’s idea of personal growth, no matter how much she enjoyed it.
She’s trying so hard to be mature, grounded, responsible, and to get ahead in her career working for Wedding Protectors, Inc., where they guarantee your perfect day – whatever it takes.
But when she ghosts on Mr. Perfect after one night of pleasure and he turns out not only to be the TikTok sensation known as “God’s Gift,” but is also the minister at the wedding she’s assigned to for work, all of Nessa’s careful plans go out the window.
She can’t date a man of the cloth.
Or can she?
Matt Draper knows he’s a study in contrasts. A bodybuilder who makes sweaty, shirtless weightlifting videos for millions of followers – and a minister? He didn’t pick the nickname “God’s Gift,” but he’s stuck with it now.
And he’s stuck on gorgeous Instagram influencer Nessa, too.
It may have been only one night, but it was a phenomenal night, and Matt wants more. Way more. When coincidence works in his favor and they meet at a wedding rehearsal, he takes his chance. She’s slow to warm, and so mysterious, yet social media perfect.
Too perfect.
For a guy who is all about depth and connection, can he break through her surface and find more?
Welcome to the Whatever It Takes series, where every book is a complete HEA and a standalone within the same world, with one couple per book:
Every bride needs something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue –
But you know what brides don’t need?
Complications.
Welcome to Wedding Protectors, Inc. Have a spritzer or a latte or some lovely Zen tea and sink into a comfortable chair in our sunlit offices as we listen to your wedding problem – and form the perfect solution to every possible contingency.
We plan for everything.
Except our own love lives.
But that’s not your problem.

EXCERPT:
“Truffle,” Nessa murmured, rousing a bit but not opening her eyes. “Good boy.”
Her family’s chocolate brown standard poodle was snuggled against her back, breathing steadily in her ear, one paw resting on her hip. She should probably get up and get ready for school, but she was so warm and cozy under the covers…
Behind her, Truffle stirred.
Wait a minute.
“I don’t have any truffles,” said a sleepy male voice behind her. “I could make mocha coffee, though.”
Someone kissed her ear, and that definitely wasn’t a poodle tongue.
Author Bio:

From billionaires to BBWs to new adult rock stars, Julia finds a sensual, goofy joy in every contemporary romance she writes.

She lives in New England with her husband and three children where she is the only person in the household with the gene required to change empty toilet paper rolls.
