Fake Fiancée, Real Baby

He’s offering her everything she’s ever dreamed of…
She just has to say yes… to a fake engagement.

Prince Adrien Mertens needs a way out. As heir to a tiny European kingdom, his every move is splashed across the tabloids, and his latest scandal abroad might just sink his reputation for good. His escape plan? A friend’s yacht and a discreet deal with the last woman anyone would expect.
Claire Bellamy has big plans for her future as a chef, but not the kind of cash it takes to make them real. So when the notorious playboy prince proposes a bargain – pretend to be his bride-to-be in exchange for the funding she needs – she agrees. One whirlwind wardrobe upgrade later, she’s trading the heat of a galley kitchen for glittering palace halls.
But what starts as a staged romance soon feels dangerously real. Between the lavish wedding preparations, stolen glances, and the man behind the headlines revealing a gentler side, Claire finds herself falling for him… hard.

And just when she thinks she’s got a handle on her new life, one surprise changes everything…
A baby was never part of the plan.
