Contract Marriage & Fake Dating Romance
Contract marriage romance starts with an agreement and ends somewhere neither of you put in writing. A marriage of convenience to save a company, an arranged match between families, a fake relationship for one wedding weekend that keeps getting extended. The rules are clear on page one. By chapter five, nobody is following them.
This shelf collects fake dating, fake engagements, flash marriages and substitute brides, from cold husbands who slowly thaw to friends pretending for the cameras. Read the opening chapters free online. When the chapter ends, he texts you, and your replies decide whether the deal stays a deal.
If the cold husband is your favorite part, billionaire romance has more of them. For a ring with history, try second chance romance.
