Something Convenient

Uptight single dad. Corporate grumpy pants.
Lincoln Raines checks every box on my do-not-touch list.
Me? Fall for him? Never in a million years!
...Pity I just agreed to be his wife, though.

It's no secret Lincoln Raines doesn't like me.
He says I'm impulsive, obnoxious, too spontaneous.
Good thing I don't need his approval.
I'm no stranger to rejection. I'm the outcast of my family, after all.

That smokin' hot kiss in the kitchen pantry was a mistake.
What we did next caused a category five disaster.

Now my life is on fire.
And Lincoln claims to have the solution that will put out the flames.

A marriage of convenience.

Saying 'I do' to a man I can't stand?
Sign me up...I guess. How bad can it be?
Especially once we set out our rules in black and white.

It's all temporary. All for show. All for convenience.

I'll get to claim the family inheritance that's rightfully mine.
He'll get to save his business from the brink of collapse.
Our marriage is nothing but a business deal.

Fine by me. I wouldn't want Lincoln if he were the last man alive.
That rare smile that lights up the room? I can see past it.
Those piercing blue eyes that show up in my dreams? They don't affect me.
Those biceps that bulge beneath his button-down shirts? I certainly don't need them wrapped around me.

But it melts my heart, the way he always puts out an extra dinner plate for me.
The way he says my name like it means something special.
The way he reaches for me in the middle of the night.
He's the first man who doesn't look at me like I'm damaged goods.

I never planned on falling for my fake husband.
Yet here I am, head over heels.
And there's nothing convenient about that.

Something Convenient is a steamy, hilarious small town marriage of convenience romance. It is book two in the Raines Family Series.
