Books like Husband for Real by Catherine George
After a hastily arranged wedding that ended in a quick and equally rushed separation, Rose and James drifted apart while each pursued their own lives. Years later, James shows up unannounced, declaring he is still bound to their marriage and unwilling to let go. Rose confronts the lingering hurt and the unresolved affection that still lingers between them, forcing both to confront whether their love can survive the test of time.
The story explores the nature of convenience marriages, the fragility of unresolved emotional ties, and the possibility of rekindling love when past vows resurface. It presents a contemporary romance that probes the delicate balance between commitment and freedom, and whether fate can truly override the hurt that shadows former promises.
