I Do, For Now: A steamy fake fiance rom-com from Christy McKellen for 2025

A sparkling, fake marriage, opposites attract romance from Christy McKellen 💍💖🌶️ Perfect for fans of Meghan Quinn, Tessa Bailey and Ali Hazelwood! Welcome to the fake wedding of Xavier and Solitaire 🤫

Saving her family's beloved café is Solitaire Saunders' top priority. Even if it means walking down the aisle with a man she barely knows! Billionaire Xavier McQueen needs a wife to unlock his inheritance, and Solitaire, with her charming chaos, is surprisingly perfect for the job. It’s purely a business transaction with no emotions attached. What could go wrong?

Because all too quickly, the lines between fact and fiction begin to blur. Catching feelings was never part of the contract, but when Solitaire's sunny disposition begins to melt Xavier's frosty exterior, revealing a surprisingly soft side beneath the boardroom bravado, both are powerless to resist each other. And as the sparks continue to fly in their temporary marriage, will they continue to fake it until they make it, or finally admit they want more than they signed up for?
