The Fiancé Favor (Alt Cover)
A steamy romance between a grumpy B&B owner and a woman on the run, their convenient agreement and the secret that forces them into an arrangement that ends with 'I do' and lasts forever.
She's on the run with nowhere to go. He's the grumpy innkeeper who offers her a roof...and maybe a way to stay. Gayle lives by a simple creed: work hard, plan for the worst, and pray for the best. Her life has been a relentless pursuit of stability until one devastating event turns her into a fugitive. Forced to flee the island she calls home, Gayle leaves the life she built and the family she loves. Crescent Bay is supposed to be a temporary stop. But when she arrives in the sleepy coastal town, a desperate favor leads her to Jiraiya Emerson: a brooding innkeeper with a struggling Bed & Breakfast and no patience for strangers. Their deal is simple: she'll help revive the inn, and he'll give her a job and a place to stay. Between the town's quirky charm, the freedom from her past, and the quiet intensity of the man she's living with, Gayle starts to imagine a new kind of future when her haunting reality presents a hopeless dilemma. Unable to return home, and with only three months to stay in the country, her only solution is a marriage of convenience to the one man who sees through her walls and makes her feel truly alive. Perfect for lovers of grumpy x sunshine, marriage of convenience, slow burn chemistry, and emotional Black romance with heart.
