Harper Quinn has been the heart of The Wisteria Inn for five years, coordinating weddings with a smile, a clipboard, and an alarming amount of enthusiasm for centerpiece arrangements. She loves her job. She loves Ivy Hollow. And she definitely does not love Declan Mercer, the scowling stranger who just inherited the crumbling estate next door and looks at her like she personally invented small talk to torment him.
Declan didn't ask for Bramblewood House. He didn't ask for the mountain of debt attached to it, the leaking roof, or the clause in his late grandmother's will that says he must be married within ninety days or the estate goes to a developer who'll turn it into a parking lot. He came to Ivy Hollow to sort the mess and leave, not to get roped into a fake marriage by the most aggressively cheerful woman he's ever met.
But Harper has a plan. A neat, professional, mutually beneficial arrangement: she marries Declan on paper, he saves the estate, and in return she gets the garden space she needs for The Wisteria's expanding wedding season. Strictly business. No feelings. Absolutely no noticing how his eyes soften when he thinks she isn't looking.
The contract says twelve months. Harper's heart didn't read the contract.
A sweet, closed-door romance featuring a clipboard-wielding optimist, a reluctant groom who fixes things when he's stressed, and a marriage of convenience that becomes inconveniently real.
Genre: Romance
