Hitched


Teagan Kade - 2015
    I was ready to forget him... until he put that chivalry into action and went all dream man on me. Now he has a proposal—marry him for thirty days and pocket a million dollars in the process. It's a mutually beneficial arrangement, he says. He needs a wife to keep his company and I need money—bad. No job, a pending eviction and a dependent sister have seen to that. But I promised myself I'd only marry for love, that I wouldn't end up with a cheating ass like my father. I've got trust issues, yes, but they're sure as hell justified. It’s only supposed to be a temporary arrangement, a business transaction, but I’m not so sure. Question is, can a relationship that started as a sham become something more, something... amazing?
