The Accidental Bride Pact

By Isla Everly

What happens when a childhood promise becomes a marriage proposal neither of them expected?
Lydia Hartley is perfectly content running her second-hand bookshop in a sleepy Cotswold village. But when Edward Fairfax-her wealthy, guarded childhood friend-walks back into her life with a shocking proposition, her simple world is turned upside down.

Edward is facing a dilemma: his grandfather's will requires him to marry before his 32nd birthday to inherit the family estate. Out of options and out of time, he remembers the long-forgotten "marriage pact" he made with Lydia years ago.

What begins as a fake engagement soon spirals into an elaborate arrangement of shared secrets, family pressure, unexpected kisses, and emotions they swore they'd never feel.

Set against the backdrop of the English countryside and bustling London life, The Accidental Bride Pact is a clean, slow-burn romance filled with witty banter, charming settings, and unforgettable characters. Perfect for fans of fake relationship tropes, marriage-of-convenience love stories, and heartwarming British romance.

Will pretending to be in love lead to something neither of them saw coming?
