Joy Carlyle

I agreed to be his fake girlfriend for three days. I didn’t expect to lose my heart.

Rowan Black is my best friend and my boss, which is exactly why this is a terrible idea. He’s all control and impossible standards. I’m the one who brings donuts and makes him laugh on the worst days.

When his fake girlfriend bails before a summit in Iceland, I step in. Three days. One castle. Zero feelings. Easy.

Except a storm traps us, and one night becomes a week. The jokes turn into late‑night confessions, the teasing turns into kisses, and the truth I’ve been hiding finally catches up with me: I’ve loved him for years.

By the end, I’m in too deep to climb out.

Then someone poisons my food.

Now I’m the message. The warning. The collateral.

And the sunshine girl doesn’t get to stay in the light.

I’m in an Arranged Marriage with My Best Friend’s Little Sister

Emily Harrington has always been off-limits—my best friend’s little sister, and more painfully, my ex. I loved her in secret until her brother found out and nearly burned my life down.

I’ve spent years hiding from my family’s political empire behind my bar, pretending my bad-boy reputation is just harmless fun. But when a baby is abandoned on my parents doorstep—the scandal might be explosive enough to end a dynasty.

My parents don’t panic—they weaponize it. Marry Emily. Play happy family for the cameras.

She agrees because my family’s money saves her parents from ruin. I agree because I can’t fail her again.

But somewhere between 3 a.m. feedings and playing house, we stop pretending. Stolen touches turn into locked doors. Co-parenting turns into falling in love all over again. Harder. Deeper. Impossible to walk away from.

The problem? This marriage was built on a lie.
And the truth about the baby is already clawing its way to the surface.

If it explodes, I lose everything.
The baby.
The marriage.
And the woman I loved twice.

She hires a fake husband. I show up instead. Merry freaking Christmas to me.

Mia Davis opens the door in a cream sweater, a pencil skirt, and the kind of smile that could ruin a man.

Namely me, her neighbor, a bored billionaire looking for a little New York trouble.
After weeks of watching her from across the street I finally have an excuse to knock. I’m delivering her mail.
Five minutes later, she mistakes me for the escort she hired to play her fake husband for Christmas.

I try to tell her the truth. Really.
But then she starts asking questions that have me blushing like a kid and hard as stone.

She’s sweet, stubborn, and still saving herself for the right man,
which definitely isn’t supposed to be me.

Now we’re “rehearsing” kisses for realism,
sharing cocoa, secrets, and one dangerously small bed.
I can’t tell where the lie ends or the wanting begins.

But if she finds out I’m not the man she hired,
just the guy who’s hopelessly in love with her,
my one perfect lie might not last till Christmas.

I went on a revenge date, nearly died, and celebrated surviving with a one-night stand with a billionaire who should’ve stayed a stranger.
Yeah… life’s going great.

One minute I’m choking on a rogue nut. The next, a gorgeous stranger is saving my life and ruining it in one night.
I told him it was a mistake. He almost believed me.

But when my ex RSVP’d “plus one” to the biggest gala of the year, my options were: cry, fake a heart attack, or call the man I swore I’d never see again.

We faked smiles, faked chemistry… okay, we failed at faking chemistry.
Now there are flowers on my desk, weekends in Paris, his toothbrush in my bathroom, and feelings that are way too close to love.

The press calls him a national treasure, his family wants a power marriage, and they’re doing everything they can to make me disappear.
The worst part? When I realize I’m pregnant, I want to beat them to it, run for the hills, and never come back.
Telling him will destroy everything.
And I’m scared to find out if love can survive the wreckage.

The nanny I can’t stand just became my fake fiancée.

Liz Andrews is my kid’s nanny, a runaway bride with comebacks sharp enough to cut, curves I shouldn’t notice, and a talent for driving me insane.

I set rules. She breaks them.
So I double down, pressing harder.
All I get are more broken rules and looks full of hatred.
It’s mutual.
She’d already be gone if Theo didn’t adore her.

Then my ex shows up in lingerie, purring about getting me back.
And Liz strolls straight into the crossfire in nothing but a towel.
So I blurt the reckless lie that changes everything—she’s my fiancée.
And it spirals into a custody battle.

Now we’re putting on a perfect show for the world, whispering strategies at night… and tearing each other’s clothes off when the tension finally snaps.

Suddenly, I can’t get enough of her laugh, her scent, her sunshine, her grit—her.
The nanny I swore I couldn’t stand?
Yeah, I love her—recklessly, completely.

But with our exes united against us,
I’m fighting with everything I am…
unsure if love will survive what’s coming.

A grumpy billionaire, a surprise baby, and the family I never thought I’d have.

I’ve always wanted a family.
But when you’re told you can’t have kids, you stop dreaming and start looking for men who already have one.

Jack Monroe is six feet of grumpy billionaire trouble.
Piercing amber eyes. Scruffy jaw.
An amazing one-night stand.

Fate being what it is, a last-minute design consult takes me to a Connecticut beach house, and there he is.
The guy I was never supposed to see again… and apparently, single dad to four wild girls.

Somehow, I slip into the life I’ve always wanted.
Family dinners, bedtime chaos, and a man who looks at me like he might love me.

Every glance ends in a kiss.
Every kiss ends in his sheets.
I fall for him.
For them.
Hard.

But one secret shatters everything, and it’s not the one I saw coming.

I should hate him.
I want to.

Until the impossible happens, and I’m carrying the miracle I thought I’d never have.

I never planned to get married in Vegas.

Especially not to my sister’s best friend.

But one drunken challenge, one Elvis impersonator, and a very impulsive set of vows later…

I wake up next to Sophia Russo—with a ring, a headache, and no clue what comes next.

She’s brilliant, sharp-tongued, and allergic to anything that looks like romance.

We agree it’s temporary. A mistake we’ll quietly undo.

Then she moves in.

Just until we figure things out.

The press is watching. Our families are in meltdown mode.

And somewhere between fake kisses and real mornings, I fall for her—for real.

But nothing prepares me for the moment she looks me in the eye…

and tells me she’s pregnant.

Now I’m about to lose the one thing I never meant to keep—

Unless I can prove to her this wasn’t a mistake at all.

Married by Contract. Forgetting the Bride. And falling hard—yeah, I’m screwed.

I married her for business.

She ran.

I chased.

It wasn’t supposed to be love.

A marriage of convenience—her ticket to stay in the country, my key to a billion-dollar pipeline deal.

Then life hit back—hard.

I woke up with no memories… and apparently married to temptation in leggings.

Honestly? I’ve heard worse.

I fall. Fast. Obsessive. All in.

She takes over my days and blows apart my nights.

Every breathless “Grant” makes me want to keep her naked and mine.

Strangely, there are no photos. No past. Just a pull I couldn’t live without.

Then I find out the truth.

And it breaks everything.

But now? She’s pregnant.

And the one woman I never really knew…

might be the one I can’t let go.

Fake marry my ex. Silence the gossip. Fool the court… and pray I don’t fall for her again.

Ten years ago, my girlfriend said I wasn’t worth the risk—then proved it by staying in this small town while I built a multi-billion-dollar empire.

Now I’m back, fighting for custody of my niece, and I need a wife to look “stable”.

So I ask the one woman I never stopped wanting.

Lila’s a single mom with a floundering café, and my deal could save us both—one “I do,” a few staged kisses, then we walk away.

Easy.

Except the first time I touch her again, it’s not for show—it’s in her bed, her nails on my back, my name on her lips.

Except she still drives me insane—pushing me away one moment, pulling me under the next, making me forget every rule.

But the town is watching, her ex is circling, and just when I think this might be real…

I find out her biggest secret—one with my eyes and her smile.

I tell him to leave.
He ignores me, drops his bags, and makes himself at home.

We’re stuck until the lawyers figure it out.

We argue like enemies.
We touch like lovers.

It’s supposed to mean nothing.
But it burns hotter than hell.

Then everything goes wrong.
A violent fight. Blood on the floor.

And suddenly, this isn’t just about the vineyard anymore.

Because somewhere between the lies, the lust, and the battle for control…
I stopped hating him.
And I started praying he’d survive.
