The Imperfect Marriage by Laxmi Hariharan

The Imperfect Marriage by Laxmi Hariharan

Quentin Davenport is my ex-boyfriend's father ...

And my new marriage of convenience husband

When my boyfriend leaves me at the altar

Quentin offers to marry me

No way can I accept it,

Especially since Quentin is much older than me

And tall, dark and tattooed and an ex-marine

Whose grumpy disposition leaves much to be desired.

But this way I can salvage my dignity...

Also, I can get back at my ex.

Besides, it's a fake marriage.

And Quentin's still in love with his dead wife, so there's no fear of developing feelings... right?

When he offers to put my younger sister through college.

...and pay for my father's medical treatment.

I can't refuse him.

Only he has conditions:

I must live with him, as his wife.

I must pretend to be his.

I must convince his family that I love him.

Living under the same roof as man and wife, I see a different side of my husband.

The pretend marriage begins to feel very real

I begin to dream of a future with him.

I am going to get my Happily Ever After...

But what happens when I walk into his office and see him with the mother of his son?

This is an age gap, marriage of convenience, ex-boyfriend's father, forced proximity, billionaire romance, with an HEA. There is no cheating, no OW/OM drama, and no third act breakup.
