A Convenient Catastrophe

She agreed to marry him to settle a debt. He agreed to marry her because it was strategically sound. Neither of them agreed to this — whatever this is becoming.

The contract was supposed to be simple.

Elise Fournier is a financial compliance analyst who reads everything before she signs it. She read the Marchetti marriage contract seventeen times. She found the filing error in the appendix within three days. What she didn't find — what she couldn't have planned for — was the man who built her a hidden escape clause before he ever met her.

Dominic Marchetti doesn't need a wife. He needs a consolidation strategy, a stable alliance, and one more piece in place before the succession question closes. What he doesn't need is a woman who walks into his kitchen at two in the morning with annotated legal documents, asking better questions than his lawyers.

The deal was meant to be functional. The cohabitation was meant to be temporary. The kitchen at two in the morning was never supposed to become the only place in the house where neither of them had to perform anything.

But Elise carries the specific kind of past that makes her check every exit. And Dom carries the specific kind of loss that taught him pausing to ask is how people die.

When a threat from Elise's history resurfaces — and Dom handles it the only way he knows how — both of them will have to decide whether the terms of the contract were ever the real arrangement at all.

A CONVENIENT CATASTROPHE is a slow-burn, steamy mafia arranged marriage romance for readers who want:

A heroine who reads the contract seventeen times and still falls for the man who wrote it
