For my birth readers: this book as a page or two of birth, but it’s romance-focused, not erotica-focused. It does have breeding, but it’s part of the larger arc, not a central theme.

Full blurb:

The plan was simple: marry him for the money, use a turkey baster for the heir, and never — under any circumstances — fall in love.

Jennifer Wright has a plan: marry Thomas Scott, fulfill the terms of his eccentric great-aunt's will, produce an heir, collect her millions, and finally make art full-time. No feelings. No romance. Just a business arrangement between two broke artists who'd rather be painting and throwing clay than falling in love.

Thomas has other ideas.

He cooks. He plans. He runs the numbers on everything — including how long it'll take her to realize they're already married in every way that matters. He notices the coffee order she never told him. He gives her the master bedroom for her studio. He looks at her with soft eyes she's not ready to name.

And when he touches her, it's nothing like business.

Jennifer built her armor out of sarcasm, crimson lipstick, and a three-president-old vibrator. But Thomas isn't trying to break through — he's just quietly, patiently, making her life so good she forgets to keep her guard up. And now she's carrying his child, and the contract is satisfied, and she could walk away with everything she came for.

Except somewhere between the Shakespeare debates and the candlelit pasta and the way he whispers good wife against her skin, she stopped wanting to.

Standalone with HEA. Can be read in any order. No third-act breakup.

Tropes: Marriage of convenience. He fell first. Grumpy heroine / sunshine hero. Only one bed. Possessive-but-supportive alpha. Plus-size heroine. Praise. Small town.

Content notes: Explicit scenes, fertility/babymaking, praise, birth on page, profanity.

Married for an Heir: A Steamy Marriage of Convenience Alpha Romance Novella

Eva Davis needed a job. What she got was Isaac Ross—her intense, bearded, possessive boss who looks at her like she's his entire future. And maybe she is.

This isn't enemies-to-lovers. This isn't even a slow burn. This is instant combustion with a fade-to-black door.

Isaac doesn't do anything halfway. He wants to claim her curves, worship her sass, and put his ring on her finger. Then fill her with his babies. In that order. Mostly.

Eva's never had a man who saw ALL of her—her competence, her body, her bratty streak—and wanted to keep her forever. But Isaac's not like other men. He gives his entire company raises. He takes her dress shopping. He holds her purse at the doctor's office.

And when he says he wants everything? He means everything.

A fast-burn, fade-to-black office romance with zero drama, zero breakup, just possessive devotion, pregnancy negotiations over sushi, and a man who'll burn down the world before he lets anyone make his woman feel less than perfect.

Plus-size representation. Breeding elements. Happy endings only. #books #romance #novella #breeding #closeddoor
