The “Straight” Brides

📚 Free with Kindle Unlimited

She needed money. I needed a wife. We needed each other.

Lauren “Lo” Hayes has a plan for everything: her career, her debt, her Tuesday meal prep. What she doesn’t have is a spouse — and her grandmother’s trust fund requires one. Enter Cara Simms: Lo’s chaotic, tattooed, chronically broke best friend who needs $12,000 for grad school and has zero shame about a good hustle.

The deal is simple: marry, cohabitate for a year, split the money, divorce. No feelings. No complications. Definitely no falling in love.

There’s just one problem. The bed is shared. The domesticity is addictive. And every time Cara calls her “wife,” Lo’s supposedly straight heart does something deeply inconvenient.

One year. One apartment. One bed. Two women who’ve been in love since college and are the last to know.
