About this book
When Alexa casts a desperate love spell to save her beloved bookstore, she's shocked when the universe actually listens—and delivers Nicholas Ryan, the infuriatingly gorgeous older brother of her best friend and the man who broke her heart years ago. Nicholas needs a wife to claim his father's empire, and when he discovers Alexa's in financial trouble, he proposes a straightforward deal: one year of marriage, strictly business, with absolutely no falling in love allowed. But as they navigate their fake relationship with carefully drawn boundaries, the sizzling chemistry between them becomes impossible to ignore, and Alexa begins to wonder if maybe that love spell knew exactly what it was doing. Perfect for readers who love a slow-burn second-chance romance with plenty of banter and a hero who's worth the wait!

“Create a playlist called The Marriage Bargain. A contemporary romance of tension and restraint—sultry R&B and indie pop with undeniable chemistry. Think smoldering slow burns, electric attraction, and the ache of unspoken feelings. Sensual but not explicit, confident and modern.”
