I’m only his wife until I get my inheritance, then this relationship is over. Growing up in an environment that doesn’t value women has meant playing the incompetent princess in order to survive. Now that my grandfather—the man who holds the most power in the family—is dying, I have a chance to get what should have always been mine. All I need is enough testosterone on my side to win over the sexist patriarchy. Thankfully, Kaleb Charter and I cross paths while he’s leaving a job accompanying someone to a party I may have shown up late to…because I didn’t want to go. I’ve only ever known Kaleb as the Bachelor brothers’ broad-shouldered gardener. But if he offers fake dating on the side, I think I’ve found my fake husband. Now, he just needs to teach me how to make this believable. Which might be easier said than done. ~ This is a marriage of convenience, forced proximity romcom with plenty of sizzle, yet none of the spice. Fall in love with he falls first swoon, and enjoy the humorous world of Sunset, West Virginia.

Camilla Evergreen is an alias of USA Today bestselling author Anne Stryker. Originally intended as a dumping ground for all things lacking fantasy, Camilla/Anne came to the shocking discovery that writing sarcastic, chaotic romcoms full of quippy heroines and adoring heroes has a kick to it. Camilla/Anne’s neurodivergent tendencies leave her hyperfocused on writing sweet and sassy romances from dawn till dusk and lending whatever her current creative obsessions are to her characters. From arranged marriages to falling for the boss, there’s lots of love to go around. Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/authorannemilla
