Substitute Lover Jordan, Penny

**Substitute Lover by Penny Jordan - Romance That Hits Different**

When Gray Chalmers needs a fake fiancée to dodge his matchmaking mother, he never expected sparks to fly with his temporary arrangement. This vintage Harlequin romance from bestselling author Penny Jordan serves up all the delicious tension of a marriage-of-convenience plot with her signature emotional depth.

Jordan, who penned over 200 romance novels, knew how to craft characters who feel refreshingly real despite the glamorous premise. Our heroine isn't just arm candy – she's got her own agenda and zero patience for arrogant billionaires (well, maybe a little patience).

Perfect for romance readers who love fake relationship tropes, emotional slow burns, and heroes who need their egos lovingly deflated. This is comfort reading at its finest – predictable in the best possible way.

This preloved paperback from Patina Paperbacks shows some shelf love but delivers maximum escapism.
