The Paradise Problem by Christina Lauren
A funny, flirty, sunshine-filled romance about two opposites forced into a fake marriage…and an island getaway that makes pretending impossible.
The Paradise Problem by Christina Lauren delivers a delightful blend of humor, chemistry, and emotional depth. When struggling artist Anna Green learns that she’s been cut off from her trust fund, she discovers the only way to access her inheritance is to stay married to Liam “West” Weston—a man she wed on paper years ago as a harmless arrangement.
The problem? West is now the heir to a strict, ultra-wealthy family that values reputation above all else. When the Westons insist the couple attend a lavish family vacation to prove their relationship is real, Anna and West are forced into a week of close proximity, shared beds, pretend affection…and feelings they can no longer ignore.
Set against a luxurious tropical backdrop, this romance sparkles with banter, vulnerability, slow-burn attraction, and a heartfelt journey toward accepting love in all its messy, inconvenient glory.
