About this item

I’ve loved him since high school. Now he’s my hot but socially awkward boss.

And this morning he proposed marriage in the elevator…

Elliot Ramsay has always been… a little awkward. A genius? Absolutely. Clothes-meltingly gorgeous? Oh, you’d better believe it. But ever since high school math class, I’ve been the only one who’s really understood the guy.

Until now, anyway.

Because I do not get it. I don’t get why marrying will somehow fix Elliot’s public image, and I don’t get why he’s picked me when he’s rich and powerful enough to have anyone. Don’t get how we’ve survived years and years of sexual tension, only for him to blow it all up at 9am in the office elevator.

But the most confusing thing of all?

I don’t know why I agreed.

And now I need to keep my hands off my husband...

Bride Bargain is a short and steamy instalove novella, starring one socially awkward boss and the assistant who'd do anything for him.

Elliot and Claire have been best friends since high school. Elliot seems to be a cold man, never smiles, hates people but with Claire he’s human. When he gets blasted in the papers for being cruel and robotic he asks Claire to marry him to help save his reputation. Claire has loved him forever and agrees but can these two truly stay together when they can’t speak about their feelings. This is a sexy hot steamy read and I loved it.

Clair knows him better than anyone, but she seems more confused sometimes than anyone.

And as a woman who has never believed she'd ever have him, fails to understand that when she does, he really means it.

Elliott always believes the worst of any situation, and when Clair is confused, simply decides she wants out. It takes Claire realizing she has to go for what she wants, before either of them can believe that what is between them is REAL.

A sweet, love story of misunderstandings and confusion, until everything is crystal clear... I just wish it was more, LONGER..

This was cute and funny and wholesome! I loved that Elliott couldn’t really express himself the way he wanted to, but Claire could read him like no other. Best Friends/Co workers to fake husband and wife to lovers, with 2 people fighting their feelings for each other.

The book is well written. Some people might like this type of story. I feel that some of the Romance books on Amazon are really erotica. That’s okay, but I’d like more romance.

This was such a great friends to lovers story. Both main characters were great and I loved their friendship. Both Claire and Elliot are willing to go the extra mile for that friendship and protect the other one from the world. That solid foundation is why their love story works. I'd recommend this one.

They have been friends since high school. Best friends since high school.. He is now a successful tech billionaire and she is his PA. She is the only one who understands him, how he misses social cues or misunderstands people in social settings . She has been running interference for him for years all well secretly harboring a crush on him. He doesn’t understand people and mostly can’t stand them except for her. When the latest misunderstanding lands him canceled on the front page of the gossip rags, he proposes that they get married to help humanize him to the press. This is a short story format so you don’t expect to get a lot of character development or complicated plot line. The author does a good job describing the relationship of the two main characters and how his social struggles have bonded them. You don’t get other characters or any details really about their family situations so the main focus is them. The potline is pretty straightforward. This unrequited love on both their part and trying to figure out their way together. It is a sweet story featuring a neurodivergent MMC.

Ms. Mint has presented an interesting way to make a math savant with a touch of Aspeger's syndrome and OCD into an attractive CEO with a best friend who loves him to the hilt and back! Great job!!
