The Marrying Man by Loiosh

Thomas Miller hasn't had great luck with women. His first wife left him while pregnant with another man's babies, and his second was killed in a tragic car accident. Since then, afraid of having his heart broken, he has let himself be used as a professional husband in short marriages of convenience to women who need insurance and a place to stay for a bit. But now that he's older he wants to try for a real relationship again. Is it too late for love? He just needs to take on one more temporary marriage and then he's hanging up his rings until the real things comes along. Avery Simmons is the sole survivor from a deadly crash that killed her parents and twin brother. Broken physically and in spirit, she marries Thomas as a last resort until she can get back on her feet again. Thomas and Avery don't have a regular relationship, they're married before they know much of anything about each other. But in marrying Avery, Thomas gets his whole flipped on its head when all is revealed. But is it for good or bad? As always, if you like this, check out the other works I have, you might like those too. Stranger things have happened! And my usual disclaimer, if you're one of my poor relatives on Wattpad, and you're feeling weird reading Mature content that might have been written by me, then ummm... skip this one.

Walk With Me by Olivezpicklez

(DISCONTINUED) I walked all the way to the park. I waited every day for at least thirty minutes. I walked back my confidence withering. Every. Single. Time. I was tired of waiting, I had my hopes up for way too long. One more walk, one more wait. He will be there. And he was. Lost on the path of not only life but her own decisions, Harlow Swan takes a chance to find her long lost friend, or crush, should I say. Meeting up with him again after two years, she realizes that maybe life wasn't so bad after all, and maybe there were some things that weren't as horrible as she thought. But not long after, things begin to go downhill, and her hopes begin to crumble. Harlow thinks that maybe once she's put her life back together, along with her hope, maybe everything would be normal again. But maybe everything wasn't meant to be normal, maybe it was all meant to be awful and way too truthful for her liking. It isn't just any normal story, after all; it's hers.

Accidentally Married by alavaraa

"Wait," Levi was having a light bulb moment. "Look on your phone. Messages, photos, there should be something that can help us." I snatched my phone from the bedside table and went to unlock it but the photo on my lock screen stopped me. I'd been too tired before and preoccupied by making sure my parents & best friend weren't gonna call the police and send a search party to look for me. "Levi," I began slowly. He raised his head from looking at his phone and looked at me. I turned my phone so that he could see the picture that changed everything. "I think we got married." ********************************************* Fallon Jones and Levi Turner have been in school together since they were little kids, but they've never spoken more than 5 words to each other. Then one day, they wake up hungover and married. (Unfortunately this is all you're getting for a description because I don't know how to write them :))

By Grace[BWWM] by JasmynTailor

Blossom and Bloom Graceful and Tender - She couldn't believe her ears, or her eyes. Her husband, the man she loves, the father of her unborn baby, was asking for a divorce. "Mason," She stammered, but he held his hand up in the air. "I'll arrange a place for you and our child to stay, I'll send weekly support for the child. Just sign the papers," He urged her and handed her the pen. She took it hesitantly, hoping that this was only a dream, she prayed to wake up. "I love you," She whispered and signed her name on the allotted space. And though she would miss him, she knew better than to fight for a man's love. Somehow, he didn't love her anymore. It hurt her heart, but once a man made up his mind, nothing could make him change his mind. She even knew that much. She placed the pen down and walked to the door. "Goodbye," He looked up from the papers and smiled. "Be on your way," And with those final words, her heart crumbled into pieces. - Let the story of Vanessa Grace take you on a journey of transformation. - The Clean Reads Collection Are you looking for a clean read with Christian themes?

BROKEN HOPE (Broken Redemption Book 2) by ArianaClarkAuthor

I was so damn naive it's no wonder I've ended up here. Kidnapped by the man who promised me forever, just as I'd begun to understand the depths of his betrayal. It's a sad truth I didn't marry my husband for love. I married him for the life he promised to provide, and if I'm honest with myself, I married him in hopes one day he'd fill the void Lucas-my first love-left behind. Now after so many years, they're both back. And in my desperation to feel loved, to be wanted and chosen I've walked straight into this trap. All because I forgot life's harshest lesson... I'm not enough. No matter how much or how fiercely I love, the choice will never be me. Especially now. Surrounded by danger and at the mercy of my husband's enemies, I'm forced to face one final bit of truth. Much like love, hope is for the weak. I was a fool to believe in the vows and promises they made.
