? The wedding was a contract. The feelings were NOT part of the deal.
Owen Briggs needs a wife to keep custody of his twin boys. Natalie Ford needs insurance for her brother's surgery. A courthouse marriage with a six-month expiration date solves both problems — no emotions required.
Simple. Clean. Completely under control.
Until his boys start calling her Mom.
? She was supposed to be temporary. So why does losing her feel permanent?
Natalie slips into their lives like she was always meant to be there — braiding friendship bracelets, memorizing allergies, showing up to school plays Owen's demanding career forces him to miss. And Owen starts noticing things he shouldn't. The way she laughs. The warmth she leaves in every room.
Then his ex-wife returns, dangling reconciliation and weaponizing the children. Owen freezes. Natalie sees the hesitation in his eyes and files for annulment before he can choose.
But Owen shows up at her door in the pouring rain, two small boys clutching his hands, asking where their Natalie went.
Some contracts were made to be broken. This one was made to become real.
? For readers who crave fake-to-real romance with maximum emotional payoff and swoony declarations!
