Book 3 of a Marriage of Convenience Series

He's a rich, play-boy lawyer. She's a sassy, struggling wedding planner. Sparks fly when they're in the room, but they can't stand each other. What happens when marriage is the only answer?

At 25, Emme Dalton is struggling to build her wedding planner business, much to the displeasure of her family. She has no time for love, dating or even a sham marriage. Even if it means expanding her business ahead of schedule. 

Alexander Bishop is a top-rated lawyer. At 27, he's young, hot and soon to make junior partner. The only problem? He needs to clean up his image, and fast. 

Emme isn't about to marry Alex. But she wonders, would it really be so bad to marry someone who promises they can live separate lives? Especially when both of them get what they want out of the deal?

Arranged Marriage Evelina Maddison Camilli is an aspiring American fashion designer. Her goal is to prove to her parents that fashion design could be as powerful as leading an empire. The only way to do that is by opening a shop without her parents' help. Her dream and goal were set to a target- But there is one problem. An extremely powerful businessman just bought the shop of her dreams. And, that was a huge barrier for her because it would be hard for her to continue with her plan. Devon Alexander Enderson is an English businessman on the verge of taking over his father's empire. The board threatens that his bachelorette behaviour, sleeping around and scandals are unacceptable for such a high position, and so his hands are tied. The only way to prove them wrong is by getting married and having a stable life. The opportunity comes... well... crashes into his office when an angry Evelina comes demanding to have the shop back. But- "Marry me" the words trembled slowly and cautiously out of his mouth, wrapped in a heavy voice. Just two words, loud enough for me to hear and clear as crystal sent shivers up my spine, making me weak. I've always been a sucker for deep accents. My throat suddenly felt dry as I stood in the middle of his office, unable to get a word out of my lips as I carefully eyed his deep blue orbs. Credits to @-belllawrites for making me this gorgeous cover. Credits to @Coco_OT7 for editing the summary and the book.

------- He loved the girl that can't love him.....And now he can't love the girl that loves him -------- ** "Don't worry.." I say, getting up off the chair and walking around him on my way out, my scarf running through his fingers lightly until it slips out. He tilts his head back over the back of his chair in a lazy laid back way, his thumb and fingers now holding his chin, as he watches me leave, still with a small smile on his face. "I won't break your heart." I turn around and say lightly, jokingly, just to tease him. His smile fades. "You won't...because you can't break what's already broken." He says more seriously. ******* Once bitten, twice shy Such is the case for Aaron Bishop, who after a failed marriage, decides that love and all things related, is not worth the trouble.

We walk into the conference room, and i feel the room oozing with male testosterone, as i join the six men already in their seats. I walk with Silas to a couple of empty chairs, and make myself comfortable. Then two more people walk into the room after us, and it appears it's who everyone was waiting for, because the room instantly quiets down. I look more closely at them and my heart nearly beats out of my chest, when i recognize one of them.....Marco. I have to do a double take, just to make sure I am seeing right, and this time.....our eyes make eye contact as he sits down, and I swear, I see his lips twitch a little. My mouth goes dry, and my ears start ringing. It's him again! Fate is clearly playing a dirty little game with me. Suddenly, it feels like the room is shrinking in size, and we are the only two people in here, because I swear, i can feel his gaze on me. But I choose to focus on the tablet on the table reflecting the agenda instead, and the someone starts updating the information, as the meeting progresses. "Marco, what do you think?" someone asks, and interested, i follow everyone's line of sight to him. Suddenly it dawns on me. I look down at the screen again, and swipe to the list of attendees, and read his name in full. Marco Bishop. Wait, 'Marco Bishop?' as in 'Bishop', the name that is displayed in bold letters on the front of this multi story building? I look up and find that he is no longer talking, but looking at me with a satisfied and proud look on his face, as if he can read my mind. Shit! ***** Marco Bishop is the youngest of the Bishop brothers, he is wealthy and privileged, and maybe a bit too impulsive for his own good. For Antonella, there is no place for a man like Marco, and everything he represents, in her life. ..but after a chance meeting one winter night on a building rooftop, Can either one of them really walk away.
