Synopsis

The only thing worse than fake marrying a woman for a job is falling in love with her! An opposites-attract lesbian romance that puts the ache in fake relationship.

Driven, reserved businesswoman Mackenzie Watson has one goal—take over her family company and secure her little sister's future. The only wrinkle is her late grandmother's decree that her company's CEO must be married.

Adding marriage into Mack's well-ordered life is a recipe for disaster. Her oh-so-logical solution? She'll just hire a woman to be her wife for a year. Besides, maybe a little chaos is exactly what she needs . . .

Enter Taylor Sutton, the woman Mack accidentally stood up for a date six months ago. With a mountain of college debt, the barista could seriously use the money that comes with playing Mack's wife. The big hitch—so to speak—is that her new wife is pretentious and arrogant and Taylor can't stand even being in the same room with her.

God, Taylor pities anyone who'd fall in love with annoying, gorgeous Mack Watson and her kissable lips.

Wait, what?

Contains mature themes.

I forgot how much I loved the fake marriage trope until I started reading The Business of Love. Hats off to Charley Clarke for also managing to make it unique in its own way. I especially enjoyed Mack's character, who is neurodivergent but successful. After losing her parents suddenly, she needs a w......more

3.5 ⭐I needed a light read, so fake wedding + first wrong impression was the perfect combo. I love when hate becomes love. The fact that Mack is autistic and mistaken as aloof, when she is actually socially anxious and need to feel safe to open up was well written. At first, Taylor even thinks Mack i......more

Well I really enjoyed this one, despite an 11 year old adult and a bit of sloppy editing (Danny he or she?) Loved the main characters and totally brought into it. Recommended.......more
