Marry Me for Six Months

They agreed on an ending. They never agreed on how much it would cost.

Saphine Orrel mends other people's broken books and keeps her own life stitched together with unpaid invoices. Lucan Veyrick drafts airtight contracts for a living, and he needs one wife, one wedding, and exactly six months.

The terms are simple: a signature, separate bedrooms, one true thing told each week, and a clean goodbye on the last day.

Nothing in the contract says what to do when the kettle he buys for a pretend kitchen starts to feel like home. As the calendar fills with pencil marks, a suspicious examiner, a failing family company, and a mother who is forgetting her own children close in. So does a letter that could change everything, and the one thing Lucan hasn't told her.

Marry Me for Six Months is a standalone contemporary romance about a ferry-line heir, a bookbinder with a dream across the sea, and the difference between wanting someone and being able to keep them.

Tropes: fake marriage, forced proximity, one bed, slow burn, a secret kept too long, bittersweet ending.

Content note: This is a love story with a bittersweet, not happily-ever-after, ending. It includes a secondary character living with early memory loss, family conflict, and closed-door intimacy.
