convenience marriage

Sophie Green, shopkeeper turned match-maker, refuses to match vulgar, abusive Rhett Jones so he finds his own wife. Unless Sophie can stop the wedding.


"That man’s got no business marrying anybody. There’s got to be some way to keep a woman from getting married."


“She can’t get married if she already is married.” Sophie explained her plan.


“Me? Pretend to be Rhett! That’ll be the day! Besides it’ll never work – don’t you suppose she’ll wonder when she hears the preacher say, ‘and do you, Noah Ingram?’”


“I’ll talk to him about it. If I can get it taken care of, will you do it?”


“If you can get the preacher to lie?” he said incredulously. The corners of his mouth lifted ever so slightly. Leave it to Miss Green to attempt the impossible. “You’ve got yourself a deal, Miss Green. If you can get the preacher to lie, I’ll marry her.” 


Was she not an orphan any more? Hope was an adult and once grown, the girls were turned out. It would be winter before long. Then what?

All For Joy by JenniferJordyn

With no parents, little money, and a young sister to care for, Margaret turns to Sophie Green, shopkeeper turned match-maker. “Miss Green, ...A young servant girl must accompany me. I can not consider any situation that would not allow for this. I understand it is unusual but it is also absolutely necessary. I trust my future to you, Miss Green, from one woman to another... “Miss Sanders, ...I do have one option. I have not met him in person. However, I have received numerous testimonies from those close to him that suggest he is a decent man. The only thing I can tell you for certain is that Mr. Lytton greatly desires to have a son... “You’re going to meet Abbott Lytton? To work for him?” “We’re to be married.” “Are you sure that’s the man? There must be a mistake. I can’t imagine what in the world would make him want to marry. No disrespect, Miss. Nothing at all against you. It’s just that Mr. Lytton is a different sort. He’s, well, he’s…”

Hearts On The Line by MissJina

The drop off line at school was filled with many interesting people, and Nadine Clarke was definitely not one of them. Even if the rumor mill was buzzing about her husband ditching her and her two children, she was far from the talk of the town. There were others more interesting than herself like the leather jacket guy. She had her eye on him for a while, along with every other mom during drop off. He somehow always ended up in front of her every morning, until one afternoon when he ended up on the pick up line not looking so hot. His son had puked all over himself in the car, and leather jacket guy was beside himself. Nadine had seen that look from her ex before in the face of vomit, so she did what any mom would do and helped him clean up. Amidst the chaos of angry parents, Nadine introduced herself to find out his name was Lawson Bailey and he was a recently single father of one trying to figure out how to navigate divorce. Later that night at the bar Nadine waitresses at, she comes to find that Lawson was in the new band performing there. Upon realization she tripped over a chair leg and tumbled to the floor. Lawson jumped from the stage, stopping the show before it began, only to have Nadine's nervous stomach become upset all over him. Somehow their not so meet cute didn't deter the two from getting to know each other better, but when her son Jackson and his son Henry get into a fight at school, can both parents deal with the consequences of their children's actions while also falling madly in love with each other?

A help she could not just brush away and for the sake of her mother’s life, she swallowed her pride and accept the offer. Little did she know that her life was about to turn into one roller-coaster ride.

Player by aspen2001

"Okay, then allow me to offer a pact." He says, immediately making me a mixture of terrified and suspicious. "You say that I'm a jerk; a bully. So, why not change that my way?" "I don't like where this is going-" I begin, but he cuts me off. "Just listen." He comes closer, seating himself next to me on the curb. "You've made me lose 3 hot dates, and in my books, that's unforgivable. There was Bunny, the girl at the party, the red headed girl from Geometry, and that Grateful Dead hippy chick from the parking lot." I start to feel uneasy, like Jake is going to make me do something I am not going to want to do. "I think that I deserve some fun." He suddenly notices my face and smirks. "Not that kind of fun." I let out a well-needed breath, not noticing that I was even holding my breath until now. "An agreement," He smiles widely, liking whatever he has come up with. "Here's the rules." He hands me a piece of paper that he was keeping in his jeans pocket. I unfold it and stare at the messy handwriting. Player's can- Sweet talk Play fight Talk 24/7 Tell each other good morning and good night every day Take walks together Give each other nicknames Hang out with each other's friends Go on dates Talk on the phone all night long Hold each other Kiss Hug And whoever falls in love first, loses (Nobody can be dating anyone during this agreement or else they automatically lose) (Winner gets the opposite player to do anything they want them to do)

And if this all goes smoothly, you two will be able to get divorced before the hockey season ends." "I have the places where you both will sign," His eyes lifted and scanned both of us. "But only of course, if you both agree to this." "I'll do it," I said honestly. Minnow sighed outwardly and bit her bottom lip. "If you need more time-" "No," she swallowed, staring at the thick packet in front of us. "I feel like this goes without saying but...no sex. Of any kind. It only complicates things." My cheeks flushed with heat, probably turning pink and Minnow choked. "We won't..." I shook my head, clenching my jaw. Shivers crossed my back. "You don't have to worry about that," Minnow said obviously. "Trust me." ***************************************** Minnow Noel is known for two things: being a hot head and an amazing figure skater. Running from a dark relationship and a past version of herself, she ends up where her skating career all started. Norwegian native Søren Skejeggstad's only focus in life is hockey.

They were once friends in a past life but now things are cold as ice between them. Just the thought of Søren alone makes Minnow's blood run cold and he'd rather avoid her at all costs.
