Publisher's summary

A Standalone Billionaire, Marriage of Convenience Romance.

You want to know the secret to everlasting happiness?

Never fall in love.

That was the wisdom my father imparted to us James boys after our mom died, and it’s a piece of advice that’s served me well.

Until dear old Dad asks me for a favor over Sunday brunch. No big deal, right? I love making my old man happy. Except this “favor” is a lot more complicated than picking up his dry cleaning. Dad wants me to marry and provide a few heirs for the James empire, and he’s even done me the courtesy of handpicking my bride-to-be. Lucky me.

But if I’m being honest, I’ve grown tired of the endless cycle of dating, the constant small talk, and the ever-shrinking pool of women I haven’t already invited for a sleepover.

I’m a lawyer, so contracts are kind of my thing. And that’s all marriage really is—a contract negotiated between two parties. What could possibly go wrong?

Enter Melanie Edison, the five-foot-four brunette with curves in ALL the right places. A veterinary nurse with the smartest mouth I’ve ever heard. And I have more fun not dating her than I did dating any woman before, even with Melanie’s absurd no-sex-before-marriage rule.

But when our business arrangement becomes so much more, I end up breaking my most important rule. And that’s when it all goes to hell.

I have no idea how we can ever repair the damage that’s been done. I’m not even sure I want to. And maybe going back to my old life won’t be so hard.

Except it’s too late. I broke my rule.

And she broke me.

Omg , this was an awesome story. First off Aaron Shedlock and Elena Wolfe were fantastic. They nailed this storyline on the head. This arranged marriage brought so much emotions. A little happiness, family betrayal, loss, lust, love , so much more . So worth the price/credit. Definitely will read again. 👍🏼👍🏼

The duo’s

This is a great listen to this story as the duo narrates are amazing together and they bring the attention to the story. Was hooked to listen to this audio.

Aaron and Elena Blew it out of the water!!

I am so happy to have more Sadie Kincaid stories in my ears, she has become a quick favorite for me. This Marriage of Convenience story follows Melanie Edison, a curvy veterinarian nurse, and Nathan James, a tough as nails lawyer and love’em and leave’em forever bachelor. To make both families happy, they agree, begrudgingly, to an arranged marriage where they must produce a child in the first year. But while they are being fake married, they start to have real feelings. While they are focusing on each other, there are some people in the background pulling strings to unravel the whole agreement. This story really had so many ups, downs, ins, outs, side to sides and loop the loops, it was all over the place in the most amazing way. The chemistry written between the two characters could really be felt from page one. I really enjoyed that Nathan, being the billionaire he is, didn’t mind that Melanie WANTED to work and for the most part let her. He didn’t do that whole “I’m rich you don’t have to work” thing. And even though they were married, he really did everything he could to woo her completely. They took the marriage seriously no matter how it came to be.

This story was narrated by Elena Wolfe and Aaron Shedlock, both are veteran narrators for me, and they knocked it out of the park just like I knew they would. They both complement each other so well and brought the characters to life in this Duet narrated performance. I loved it and I want to hear more of this story, author and narrator duo.
