The Love Contract

He needs a bride by New Year’s. It definitely shouldn’t be her.AnthonyIf I don’t get married by New Year’s Eve, I’ll lose my trust fund.It wouldn’t be a problem if my fiancée hadn’t just left me for my college friend. Now, I’m left with a cancelled wedding, zero interest in a relationship, and a ticking clock...So I hire The Love Fixers, a business that assists the romantically challenged, to help me find a woman who’s willing to enter into a mutually beneficial sham marriage.But then I meet Rosie.She’s chaotic. She’s blunt. And she lights a fire in me.She’s not interested in marriage, fake or otherwise, so I definitely shouldn’t be spending time with her, but I can’t seem to stop. And when she meets my ex-fiancée, she throws her arms around me and announces she’s my lover.Everything snowballs from there, and suddenly I’m fake engaged to a woman I might want more than my inheritance.RosieLet the record show: I did not intend to propose to Anthony. I was defending him from his ex.It escalated quickly, though, the way things tend to do with me.I thought he was cold and detached, but it turns out he’s a modern-day Mr. Darcy who needs some help having fun.The more time we spend pretending to be in love, the harder it is to remember we’re not supposed to be.But I have a secret. And if it comes out, it won’t just ruin our fake engagement-It could cost him everything.
