The Marriage Bargain by Jennifer Probst

3.0

Alexa's first kiss was amazing, until Nick ruined it all by breaking her heart immediately afterwards.

Fast forward fifteen years later, Nick needs a wife to fulfill a clause in his Uncle's will, but he only needs a wife for one year. Alexa needs $150,000 to save her mother's home. They strike up a bargain and quickly get married, despite their disdain for each other and of course their COMPLETE LACK of chemistry. Sounds like the perfect bargain, until their hearts get involved.

The entire premise was preposterous, including the ruse to trick the family. However, the banter and steam made up for the absurdities. Perfect book for reading in the yard while keeping one eye on a wily three year old.
