Christian
Being invited to my cousin’s wedding really shouldn’t be such a big deal except, oh yeah, I haven’t seen my family for a decade.
My parents turned their backs on me and I’ve done everything since to become successful and show them what they lost. Only, it’s kinda hard to be a success when you’re a walking trainwreck.
So I’m going to fake it. Hire a guy with an online presence so impressive they’ll be desperate to welcome me back into the elitist fold, and roll into the wedding with the kind of confidence I’ve never felt a day in my life.
The plan’s a knockout.
Until my fake date cancels minutes before the ceremony.
Émile
One letter from my dearly departed grandfather, and suddenly I’m on a husband hunt.
He’s reworked his entire will so I’m set to inherit far more than I’m entitled to, and all because he’s asked me to use that money for “good”.
In order to get that inheritance, though, there’s one stipulation: marriage.
Even with his request, I’m tempted to stick to my original plan of getting as far from my wretched family as possible, and letting them fight it out.
But then I run into a tall drink of scattered mess outside of a wedding who’s in desperate need of a date, and the pieces click into place.
I help him, he helps me.
Marriage, money, then go our separate ways.
Easy.
Now all I have to do is stop myself from actually falling for the guy.

A good start to a new series.
This was such a sweet story with just the right amount of heat 🔥. An accidental meeting between Christian and Emile turned out to be a good thing for both of them. Christian needs a date for a cousin’s wedding and Emile needs a husband to fulfill the terms of his grandfather’s will.
Poor Christian is so accident prone that he is constantly embarrassing himself when things go wrong for him. And they go very wrong at his cousin’s wedding. Emile doesn’t want to be a part of the family business. He wants to use his money to do good things for less fortunate people. The change his grandfather made to his last will and testament will allow him to fulfill that dream.
Both Christian and Emile have to deal with their not-so-nice families, albeit in different ways. I loved the solution the author found for Christian when one of his dreams comes true, but may keep him separated from Emile
Christian has an interesting group of housemates and I hope each one of them ends up getting a story.
