You Can Have Manhattan by P. Dangelico
If someone told Sydney Evans she would be sending out wedding invitations for the nuptials of herself and her boss’s wild child of a son Scott Blackstone, she would have laughed in their face. To say she is in for the shock of a lifetime would be an understatement.
You Can Have Manhattan is a sweet and sexy marriage of convenience romance perfect for fans of the enemies-to-lovers trope, intense sexual tension, and hilarious banter.

Highly-Anticipated Marriage of Convenience Books
The Fiancée Farce by Alexandria Bellefleur

Natalie Vos needs a husband if she hopes to access her trust fund to finance her new business venture, and August Cates needs a loan to keep his recently-inherited vineyard from going bankrupt.
