The Accidental Husband

Sebastian Hendrick is a fibber who owns prime real estate in the closet. He has told the unvarnished (partially fudged) truth on his matchmaking intake form for Mail Call Mates. He has clicked the “heterosexual” box (a wild fabrication). And he has requested a wife, please, as he has no interest in the masculine gender (liar, liar, pants on fire).

Bastian is thrilled when his phone erupts (almost literally) with notifications to announce his match has been made. His future spouse’s name? Jackson Roy Sadler. Masculine Army Sergeant riding a transport home from Mars after a long, off-world deployment.

The artificial intelligence at the center of the matchmaking service has not bought Bastian’s attempts to hide his true desires. Further, Jackson’s smile captures Sebastian’s heart before Bastian can register a complaint. Promising to love Jackson until death does them part forces Bastian to embrace parts of himself he thought he buried, confront his secrets, and relearn what he believes he knows about family.
