The Christmas Couple: A Sweet Marriage of Convenience Romcom

If there’s one person I’m not allowed to fall in love with this Christmas, it’s my husband.

This was not a love match. My best friend only married me so I could have health insurance until I find a new job; Carl is just that kind of guy. But it doesn’t take long for our marriage of convenience to turn complicated.

Our courthouse wedding is barely official when my parents show up to surprise me—after refusing to visit for years. And suddenly, medical stability isn’t the only thing I need from my best friend.

I need him to pretend our relationship is real. I need us to become the perfect Christmas couple.

Lying to my parents isn’t easy, especially when the entire town of Ponderosa Falls gets in on the act. Though as they band together to help us pull off the ultimate holiday hoax, my “perfect marriage” starts to feel a little too real.

Which definitely wasn’t part of our plan.

The Christmas Couple is a closed-door romantic comedy with sizzling chemistry but no explicit content. It can be read as a standalone or as a prequel to the Fake Love Lists series.
