Publication date: June 15th 2023
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance
The marriage is fake, but the passion is real.
Famous for his last name, devilish Anthony Star-Hunter is the black sheep of the Star clan. He’s an expert at using his tall, dark, and handsome charm to get women into bed—the last remnant of his declining hard-party escapades.
But the bucks are about to stop here. His grandfather’s will demands he marry to inherit his fortune. Anthony panics. Even with his bad boy allure, how the hell is he going to find a tolerable bride, like, yesterday?
The minute Sarah Pennington spots the tattooed muscles her new stepsister’s ex hides under his Italian suits, she rolls her eyes. Anthony is not for her. And with her father maybe headed to prison for a financial fiasco, she’s had enough bad male behavior. She’s responsible. She’s hard-working. She…can’t stop having naughty dreams about the sexy “celebutant.”
At a beach-side wedding, a drunken mishap throws Sarah into Anthony’s bed, and he’s intrigued. Can he convince her to give fake marriage a chance? Can she convince herself to keep her heart out of the deal?
Their slow-burn, un-love affair isn’t what either expect, but it might be what both of them need forever.

Anthony's a stereotypical rich playboy with no plans on settling down with one woman...until the contents of his grandfather's will force him into an arrangement with someone from his past. Soon what was a convenience is turning into something very real, and feelings are developing.
Sarah has her own reasons for agreeing to this marriage of convenience with a man she doesn't want to like and can't help but be attracted to. Spending so much time with Anthony, though, has lead her to see there's more to him than she had ever realized, and she likes it.
Marriage of convenience stories are my jam. I love reading as fake turns real, and Kris Jayne did well by the trope. Sarah is especially awesome - an absolute sweetheart with a huge heart, and the perfect opposite and perfect for, Anthony. He's equally likable when revealing his true depths. The tension between them is delicious and I rooted them on the whole way through.
