The Paradise Problem

Five years ago, Anna Green and Liam Weston got married so they could access UCLA’s cheap family housing, and after going their separate ways when they graduated, Anna assumed that they were divorced. When Liam shows up on her doorstep, newly unemployed artist Anna discovers that not only are they still married but Liam is the heir to the Weston Foods conglomerate, and a clause in his grandfather’s will means he won’t see his inheritance until he and Anna have been married for five years. With pressure mounting from his family to meet his “wife” and prove that his marriage is real, Liam and Anna head to a private island for his sister’s wedding. Initially, Liam is worried about whether quirky Anna will fit in with the family and maintain their ruse, but despite their fake marriage, sparks quickly fly between the two as they finally get to know each other, making Liam wonder if dredging up old secrets to get his inheritance is worth potentially losing Anna. Witty banter and a well-paced plot make this novel an enjoyable must-read.
