The Marriage Narrative

<b>A love just for show grows into something more in this swoonworthy romance from the author of <i>The Romantic Agenda.</i></b><br><br>Zinnia is an ambitious, successful businesswoman who is <i>not </i>about to wait around for her One True Love. She turns her dating profile into a marriage-merger proposal: a few strategic meetings, move in together, get married—all within thirty days. Her friends think it will never work… until she meets Jordan, a near-perfect applicant with a big secret.<br><br>Jordan’s family has spent the last decade starring in a massively popular reality show about their lives. He has finally agreed to join the cast, but production wants him to marry an actress (<i>his ex</i>) in a romantic storyline to boost viewership.<br><br>Convinced Zinnia is perfect for the role instead, Jordan proposes a mutually beneficial marriage agreement: she gets her business partner husband, and he gets to help his family on his terms. Together they face strict schedules, wild plot twists, and behind-the-scenes hostilities, all while acting like besotted newlyweds—an intense performance that evolves into a relationship they never expected.<br><br>As the line between reality and show blurs, Zinnia and Jordan must choose between a clean contract or a beautifully messy love story.
