Fake Marriage Secret by Lauren Wood

Brantley Jenkins and I only have one thing in common…
We wouldn’t get married if our lives depended on it.
But in our families – not getting married isn’t an option.
They have different reasons, but both are just as relentless and persistent.
I knew when I hired him to help with my grandmother’s business,
She would see him as something more, of course.
He became an opportunity.
I just didn’t know how far she’d go…
To make her ridiculous fantasy a reality.
We drank down her tricky poison like fools.
Only to wake up the next morning and realize we’d be duped.
Like it or not, we are now married.
And our only way out…also means I get deported for good.
We have no choice but to try and make this work,
Which means a minimum sentence of four years.
Four years of making everyone believe we’re in love,
While it’s getting harder to make ourselves believe that we’re not.
Our fake marriage gets a little too real for me,
When I learn our very real hot and steamy sex…
Has led to me being very pregnant.
Right after Brantley has made it clear that kids are not in the cards for him,
I end up with a positive pregnancy test to prove him wrong…
That is if I decide to tell him he’s a father now.
Will our arranged marriage prove to be a happy accident? Or are we fooling ourselves in the way we hoped to fool everyone else?
