A Not So Fictional Fall

Tasha is a dedicated bookstagrammer who travels across the country to an author event to meet her favorite romance writer, Amelie De Pierre. She gets a huge shock when the writer behind the feminine pen name turns out to be a handsome French man named Pierre Toussaint. When visa trouble threatens Pierre's ability to stay in the United States and complete his promotional tour, his agent suggests an unconventional fix. Tasha agrees to enter a temporary marriage of convenience with the author she admires, sending both of their lives in an unexpected direction. The book leans heavily into playful banter, bookish humor, and the fun awkwardness of fake newlyweds getting to know each other. Pierre's struggle with American slang and the inside jokes about reading communities give the story plenty of upbeat charm. The romance remains completely clean and closed door, focusing on sweet moments and swoony kisses without explicit scenes or foul language. It fits readers who love lighthearted romantic comedies, cozy autumn vibes, and the marriage-of-convenience trope.
