Marriage of Convenience vs Accidental Marriage, Which Romance Trope Wins?

Marriage can begin as a contract, a mistake, a strategy, or a night in Las Vegas that nobody planned. In romance, the fun begins when two people who insist the arrangement is temporary start behaving like the vows might mean something.

If you love forced proximity, public performances, inconvenient feelings, and couples discovering that pretend intimacy can become dangerously real, choose your marriage trope.

Choose Marriage of Convenience for a Carefully Negotiated Disaster
