False Bride [18+]

Formerly known as Not Royale enough
..

Sarah Wayne has one rule: never mix business with feelings.

At twenty-five, drowning in debt that isn't even hers, she's willing to do almost anything to keep herself afloat. Luckily, her job is simple. Be the perfect girlfriend. Smile for the cameras. Attend events. Play the role.

No touching. No kissing. No complications.

Then she receives an offer unlike any she's ever had before.

Become the fake bride of a prince.

The pay is enough to erase every debt hanging over her head, so saying no isn't really an option. What starts as a simple contract quickly turns into a nightmare of royal expectations, public scrutiny, and a dangerously handsome prince who seems determined to test every rule she's ever made.

Christopher Knight, the infamous second prince of Gelin, has spent years avoiding responsibility. With a reputation as a playboy and no desire to settle down, marriage is the last thing he wants. But when his older brother abandons his duty to the crown, Christopher suddenly finds himself next in line for the throne-and under immense pressure to find the perfect future queen.

His solution?

A fake bride.

He expects a business arrangement.

What he doesn't expect is Sarah.

She's stubborn, sharp-tongued, completely unimpressed by his title... and quickly becoming the one woman he can't stop thinking about.

Now, Christopher must decide whether their marriage is just another performance-

or the beginning of something real.

After all, the most dangerous part of pretending to be in love is forgetting where the act ends.
