Contemporary Black romance · The Verrett, Book 1
Married on Purpose
She needed a husband in ninety days. He'd been in love with her for twenty years and had never once said so.
Chantelle Verrett has run her grandmother's New Orleans supper club for nine years — payroll, liquor licence, the band paid before the bank — on the understanding that the building would be hers. Then the will is read: the deed passes only to an heir who is married within ninety days. So she asks Cordell Boudreaux, the family's attorney, for a courthouse signature.
He says yes on his own terms. Everything disclosed. Everything documented. And him living in the apartment over the bandstand, so the court sees a marriage instead of a maneuver. When her uncle files to call the whole thing a sham, the only way to win is to become, in front of the entire block, what they're pretending to be.
A grown-folks marriage of convenience with a Black hero and heroine, a family institution worth fighting for, opinionated aunties, live horns, and a guaranteed happily ever after. Perfect for fans of Talia Hibbert and Kennedy Ryan.
