Marriage Offered, Love Declined

Marriage Offered, Love Declined

Elle Fielding

When Olivia Monroe begs Sebastian Winters for a loan to save her family, the last thing she expects is his condition: marriage. Cold, controlled, and heartbreakingly off-limits, Sebastian makes it clear this is a business arrangement. Nothing more. He doesn’t believe in love—and he’s definitely not looking for it.

But as Olivia steps into a life she never asked for, tied to a man who’s locked his heart behind walls, she starts to wonder if she can keep hers safe. Because falling for Sebastian would be a mistake… especially when he’s sworn he’ll never love her back.

H L Wampler

Eden walks into the courthouse ready to say “I do.” Instead, she’s left with two coffees, no groom, and a heart in freefall. Enter Alexander—a billionaire with everything to lose unless he finds a bride today. Their chance meeting sparks a deal: one signature, no emotions, just business. But in a city where pride burns hotter than love and rules are made to be broken, what starts as a cold arrangement begins to melt into something neither of them planned for. As Eden finds her strength and Alexander learns what he’s really fighting for, the lines between duty and desire blur in the most unexpected way.

Kashmira Kamat

Elsa just needs a simple solution for her high school reunion, nothing complicated, nothing emotional, just a date that gets her through the night. Hiring an escort online seems like the perfect, low-risk answer—until the night becomes unforgettable in all the wrong and right ways. Derek is older, composed, and far too good at making her forget every rule she set for herself. What starts as one arranged evening quickly turns into something Elsa cannot shake from her thoughts. But life has a wicked sense of timing, and when she discovers who he really is, her carefully built world tilts in ways she never planned for. Now every glance feels loaded, every memory a problem, and every boundary a test she never agreed to take.

Heartbroken and angry, she throws herself into her passion for photography, doing her best to ignore the fact that men exist.
