Zinnia is an ambitious, successful businesswoman who is not about to wait around for her One True Love. She turns her dating profile into a marriage-merger a few strategic meetings, move in together, get married—all within thirty days. Her friends think it will never work… until she meets Jordan, a near-perfect applicant with a big secret.

Jordan’s family has spent the last decade starring in a massively popular reality show about their lives. He has finally agreed to join the cast, but production wants him to marry an actress (his ex) in a romantic storyline to boost viewership.

Convinced Zinnia is perfect for the role instead, Jordan proposes a mutually beneficial marriage she gets her business partner husband, and he gets to help his family on his terms. Together they face strict schedules, wild plot twists, and behind-the-scenes hostilities, all while acting like besotted newlyweds—an intense performance that evolves into a relationship they never expected.

As the line between reality and show blurs, Zinnia and Jordan must choose between a clean contract or a beautifully messy love story.","format",{"_19":30,"_90":125,"_126":127,"_128":46},"publisher","Berkley","page_count",368,"duration","published_date","pub_date","November 11","isbn","9780593820179","asin","0593820177","hex_code","#481808","language","English","purchase_links",[],"playlist_links",[],"cover","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/11508i/817ebe69-89c1-4cff-8267-f38e3a9ed49d/1790443453.jpg","thumb","https://img.blackauthored.com/?preset=poster_thumb&image=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.blackauthored.com%2Fbooks%2F11508i%2F817ebe69-89c1-4cff-8267-f38e3a9ed49d%2F1790443453.jpg","rating_distribution",{"_118":119,"_120":121},"tags",[84,85,86,87,88],{"_19":30,"_90":115,"_92":107,"_52":-5,"_50":116,"_95":117,"_97":46,"_99":46,"_100":48},{"_19":110,"_90":111,"_92":112,"_52":-5,"_50":113,"_95":114,"_97":98,"_99":46,"_100":48},{"_19":105,"_90":106,"_92":107,"_52":-5,"_50":108,"_95":109,"_97":98,"_99":46,"_100":48},{"_19":101,"_90":102,"_92":93,"_52":-5,"_50":103,"_95":104,"_97":98,"_99":46,"_100":48},{"_19":89,"_90":91,"_92":93,"_52":-5,"_50":94,"_95":96,"_97":98,"_99":46,"_100":48},33,"name","Fake Dating","category","trope","fake-dating","url","/tropes/fake-dating","selectable",true,"sensitive","position",34,"Marriage of Convenience","marriage-of-convenience","/tropes/marriage-of-convenience",5,"Contemporary Romance","genre","contemporary-romance","/genres/contemporary-romance",71,"Contemporary","setting","contemporary","/settings/contemporary","Romance","romance","/genres/romance","ratings",{},"recommend",{"_122":48,"_123":48,"_124":48},"yes","no","maybe","Paperback","type","print","audio",{"_19":130,"_90":131,"_50":132,"_133":-5,"_134":-5,"_135":30,"_136":137,"_138":98},"fd0fdbe2-66fd-433a-b26a-a1bcfce87a19","Claire Kann","2179-claire-kann","biography","image","books_count","roles",[139],"in_catalog","author","isLoggedIn",["P",141],"result","seo",{"_13":151,"_152":153,"_52":154,"_155":156,"_95":157,"_158":159,"_160":161},"user","themePreference","light","storedTheme","gaId","G-Z1HVZ17GZ3","Blackauthored","titleTemplate","%s","Find your next Black authored read and connect with readers with the similar taste.","handle","@blackauthored","https://blackauthored.com","robots",{"_175":46,"_176":46},"jsonLd",{"_162":163,"_164":165,"_90":151,"_166":167,"_168":169,"_95":157},"@context","https://schema.org","@type","Organization","logo","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/images/og-image.png","sameAs",[170,171,172,173,174],"https://twitter.com/blackauthored","https://facebook.com/blackauthored","https://instagram.com/blackauthored","https://youtube.com/blackauthored","https://tiktok.com/@blackauthored","noIndex","noFollow"]
