The Marriage Policy - Paperback

by Riley Hart (Author)

Donovan
What's a little marriage of convenience between best friends?

I've always worked hard to keep the friendship line firmly in place when it comes to Eric. I'm gay, and he's straight. We're best friends and nothing more. But he's my person, and there's nothing I wouldn't do for him. Which is why when I find out he's struggling financially and doesn't have medical insurance, I blurt out six friendship-altering words: I want you to marry me.

Eric
Donovan's my best friend, the most important person in my life... And he wants to marry me.

Okay, so maybe I haven't made the best decisions lately. I took a job with no health insurance and no guaranteed money, which was working out fine, if not for the whole getting-injured-and-fired thing. But Donovan has come up with a solution. Marriage. Living together. There's a small chance we're a tad codependent, but I always want to be with him, so signing a marriage license shouldn't really change much. Until the kissing starts...and the touching...and the exploring... And all I know is, I want more. So much more from my husband.

Playing pretend with Donovan is the realest thing I've ever felt, and though divorce was the ultimate plan, I'm not sure I want this to end.
