Forever Evermore
Women of W.A.R.
In its 8th season on Australian TV, it’s safe to say that Married at First Sight consistently delivers the drama. With only seven couples remaining (and only four couples still together in all the show’s history), is our faith in arranged marriages fading?!
If you simply cannot let that be, we have a few novels that will restore your love for love! All include marriages of convenience without the heated Zoom calls…
The Earl’s Practical Marriage by Louise Allen
Childhood friends all grown up. Now they must marry for convenience!
Giles Redmond, Earl of Revesby, is marrying childhood friend Laurel Knighton because it’s the only way to save his family fortune. Last time he saw her she was an unconventional tomboy…now she’s a beauty. But finding himself aroused by her is as baffling as it is surprising. Who would have thought such an infuriating, disobedient bride could be so tempting?
Why it’s better than MAFS: there’s an Earl AND a family fortune in the mix!
The Duke Buys a Bride by Sophia Jordan
A bride wasn’t in his plans . . .
The last thing Marcus, the Duke of Autenberry, expects to see after sleeping off a night’s drunken shenanigans is a woman being auctioned in the village square. Before he can think about the ramifications, he buys her, thinking he’s winning the girl her freedom. Instead, he discovers he’s bought a wife.
Why it’s better than MAFS: they’re probably already more compatible than Bryce and Melissa
Marianne’s Marriage of Convenience by Lyanna Banning
“I want you to marry me.”
A wedding in Smoke River, Oregon…
Marianne Collingwood has inherited a business, the perfect escape from her life of drudgery. There’s one condition: to claim the business, she must be married! Her coworker, handsome Lance Burnside, will have to be the groom – this marriage of convenience will help them both. Only once it’s too late does she consider the question of the marriage bed they must share…
Why it’s better than MAFS: the bed they share isn’t located in a hotel amongst a handful of others in a similar situation under the watchful eyes of relationship experts…and the nation!
Wedded at First Sight
Wanted…one wife.
Three stories of arranged marriages. They begin as a tool for these men and women to get ahead, but could they become something more…?
Why it’s better than MAFS: SPOILER – they aren’t forced to rank each other according to attractiveness!
His Million Dollar Marriage Proposal by Jennifer Hayward

He strikes a pact with his gorgeous but guarded local barista Chiara: he’ll save her father from bankruptcy if she agrees to wear his ring! But any convenience is consumed by their explosive attraction. Now Lazzero is determined to see his diamond on Chiara’s finger for good
Why it’s better than MAFS: ‘explosive attraction’ and ‘million-dollar ring’ are just a couple of reasons why
