The Borrowed Husband

Ninety days. No touching. Full legal cover. That was the deal. Nobody told Sofia Balan that the marriage was already real. Anton Balan needed an American wife with a clean passport and a surname that matched his — for reasons he never intended to share. Sofia needed the bakery she inherited from her mother to stay open. It was supposed to be paper. Then his uncle died and the forged certificate in the safe became a fact, and now the whole structure of the Balan family rests on a woman who remembers her wedding like a photo she wasn't in. When the bakery burns, Anton puts her in his father's house, where he can hear every argument through the wall and she can hear him not sleeping. The exit is always open. She just keeps choosing the house. A forced marriage mafia romance about a paper wife who turns out to be load bearing.
