191 pages
A deliciously angsty vintage romance where a clinical contract gives way to undeniable, messy human emotion.
What it feels like
Reading this vintage romance feels like stepping into a time capsule of delicious, high-stakes emotional angst. The atmosphere is thick with the stifling tension of a purely transactional arrangement, keeping the reader on edge as the clinical boundaries of a marriage of convenience begin to fray. The narrative moves at a brisk, compulsive pace, driven entirely by the push-and-pull dynamic between a deeply cynical hero and a heroine harboring secret yearning. Its prose is earnest and unapologetically melodramatic, leaning into the heightened feelings and domestic turbulence characteristic of classic category romance. It is a perfect comfort read for those who love the slow, agonizing thaw of a frozen heart and the inevitable triumph of vulnerability over logic.

About the book
It should have been her dream of happiness coming true. Joanne had worked very well with Dr. Grant as his nurse. After marriage, the question was, "Could she accept a loveless marriage?" Marriage to the eminent Dr. Daniel Grant was to be for mutual convenience. "Love doesn't enter into our agreement," he had informed her dispassionately. "Besides, love is a fabricated emotion and I have no time for it. What I'm offering will be purely and simply a business arrangement to last no longer than a year."
