When a mistaken kiss with her brilliant, misanthropic colleague Sawyer Worthington threatens their positions at Octothorpe, they engineer the perfect solution: a marriage on paper only.\n\nTheir arrangement is calculated, logical, and absolutely temporary—until proximity reveals what algorithms can’t predict: undeniable chemistry.\n\nAs corporate sabotage threatens their company and a bullet meant for her changes everything, Sawyer must decide if protecting her career is worth sacrificing the love she never saw coming… with the man who shares more than just her name.","pitch":"Pretend I Do by Misha Bell is a 2025 romance.

Or does it?\n\nOkay, let me explain. I broke into my crush’s dressing room to sniff his tights (not in a pervy way, I swear!) and got busted while, um… you get the idea. He then kind of, sort of blackmailed me into agreeing to a fake green card marriage with him. But hey, I’m not complaining.\n\nNext thing I know, we’re on a flight to Vegas to make our friends and family think we had a crazy drunken night and, in the spur of the moment, tied the knot. Except… that’s exactly what happens. (Thanks a lot, vodka.)\n\nConsidering that he’s the most desirable ballet dancer in New York City and I’m a garage-dwelling secret blogger with a major sweet tooth, there’s no way this marriage could ever become real. Not to mention my totally crazy family and my aversion to every smell under the sun—except his.\n\nAll I can hope for is to not fall in love with my husband. That shouldn’t be too hard, right?","pitch":"Sextuplet and the City by Misha Bell is a 2022 romance.
