It's only supposed to be a business arrangement.
The Marriage of Convenience trope begins with an agreement, a contract, a deal, or a necessity—but somewhere between the signatures and the shared last name, real feelings begin to grow.
Whether it's an inheritance clause, a political alliance, a desperate financial arrangement, a marriage to secure a throne, or two people who need something from each other, these romances thrive on forced intimacy, simmering tension, and the delicious moment when pretending becomes something much more.
This collection features books and bookish merchandise inspired by the Marriage of Convenience trope. From historical romance and contemporary love stories to fantasy kingdoms, paranormal worlds, and high-stakes adventures, these books explore what happens when two people commit first and fall in love later.
Alongside trope-filled romance novels, you'll also find bookmarks, stickers, gifts, and reader accessories perfect for readers who love contractual obligations turning into happily-ever-afters.
Because sometimes the best marriages start with the worst reasons.
