Magnolia Parker's Temporary House Husband, (Paperback)

<p>When your engagement implodes at your own party and your grandmother demands you prove you're marriage material, sometimes the only solution is to hire a husband. Even if he's the infuriatingly gorgeous contractor renovating your kitchen.</p><p>Magnolia Parker has built her reputation as Atlanta's most unshakeable corporate attorney on control, composure, and never letting anyone see her sweat. But when security footage of her fiance's infidelity plays on loop at their engagement party in front of Atlanta's entire social elite, her perfectly curated life shatters like the champagne flute she drops on the marble floor. Worse, her steel-magnolia grandmother issues an ultimatum - prove you can maintain a stable marriage within six months, or lose your inheritance and the partnership you've sacrificed everything to achieve.</p><p>Desperate and humiliated, Magnolia proposes an arrangement to Jack Sullivan, the maddeningly laid-back contractor who's been demolishing walls in her kitchen and her composure in equal measure. Six months of playing house, a generous paycheck, and they both walk away with what they need. No feelings, no complications, no real commitment...</p><p>Jack Sullivan left his high-pressure career as a sought-after architect after a devastating loss taught him that success means nothing without someone to share it with. Now he builds things with his hands, fosters rescue dogs, and avoids Atlanta's country club set like the plague. Everything Magnolia Parker represents should repel him - from her color-coded calendar to her inability to relax for thirty seconds. But beneath her icy exterior, he glimpses a woman so terrified of being abandoned that she's built walls higher than any he's ever demolished. The fake marriage deal she offers is insane, but the vulnerability in her eyes when she asks seals his fate. Besides, six months living with Magnolia might be exactly what they both need, even if neither of them knows it yet.</p><p>What starts as a transaction becomes something neither expected. Jack teaches Magnolia that burned toast isn't a catastrophe and that Sunday mornings are for staying in bed, not spreadsheets. She discovers that the man who leaves sawdust trails through her pristine house also leaves notes in her briefcase and remembers how she takes her coffee. As renovation dust settles and fake touches become real heat, the line between performance and reality blurs. Family dinners with her impossible grandmother, late nights sharing secrets in the dark, and the way he looks at her like she's not a project to be managed but a woman to be cherished crack the armor she's worn since childhood. But when Jack's past collides with Magnolia's present and the truth about their arrangement threatens to surface at the worst possible moment, they'll have to decide if a relationship built on a contract can become a love built to last.</p><p>Set against the backdrop of Atlanta's glittering social scene and the intimate renovation of a historic home, this story explores what happens when two broken people discover that the best foundations are built on trust, not transactions. It's about learning that being vulnerable isn't weakness, that real love requires risk, and that sometimes the person you hire to fix your house ends up rebuilding your heart.</p><p>Perfect for readers who love marriage of convenience stories with emotional depth, wounded characters finding healing in each other, and romances that balance steam with substance.
