Description
Marriage is anything but convenient.
As San Francisco’s top divorce attorney, Justine should know. She’s freed hundreds of couples from their shackles, so she knows better than to fall into that trap.
Until her grandmother hits a hot bicyclist with her car.
When everyone mistakes the victim, Pax, for her boyfriend, Justine does what any lawyer with a healthy fear of liability would do: she proposes a temporary marriage in exchange for a donation to Pax’s collapsing animal shelter. Not only is her grandmother protected, but her bosses have practically promised Justine the senior partner position she covets – if she’s married.
Six months of marriage, just until her promotion is secure, should be easy. But Pax, with his gorgeous face and to-swoon-for physique, is anything but easy to resist. Especially when the for-pretend kisses start to feel genuine and when he starts to throw around the phrase that makes her shiver – “my wife.”
Real feelings in a sham marriage are anything but convenient.
You’ll be smitten with this spicy age-gap (she’s older!), marriage-of-convenience romantic comedy with a side of adorable rescue animals and a meddling grandma.

This was such a fun and cozy romance read. The fake marriage setup was entertaining, the chemistry was great, and the age gap dynamic added a little extra tension without feeling overdone. I loved the mix of humor, sweet moments, and emotional growth throughout the story. It was light, charming, and easy to get pulled into from the beginning. Perfect if you want a romantic comedy with lovable characters and lots of heart.
