Once upon a time, Daire Hendricks was my childhood crush. He was always there, saving me from his annoying brothers. He was my rock, my safe place from my overbearing family.

Until he wasn’t.

Imagine my annoyance when we end up at the same university and I have to see his smug, too-handsome-for-his-own-good face all over campus.

Every time we cross paths, we spew hateful words at each other, so imagine my surprise when he seeks me out and utters the most surprising question.

“Marry me?”

He needs my help, and his solution is marriage. It’s a pretty big ask, but somehow, I find myself saying yes. We might hate each other now, but the benefits of this arrangement are worth it.

But what neither of us expects, is when playing house starts to feel a little too real.

Falling for each other was never part of the plan, but you know what they say about the best laid plans?

They often go awry.

Books that have enemies to lovers with marriage of convenience seems to be a new trope that I’m obsessed with adding that they have known one another since they were kids is my favourite tropes in one book. (chef kiss) Daire finds out that he needs to get married to get custody of his son so he asks his friend Rosie for help, but will she say yes to helping him out? Will they be able to get past their miscommunication?.
