Overview

What if the man you hired to fool your family wasn't pretending at all? At thirty-five, Shalom Okoro is tired of the questions, the comparisons, and the quiet disappointment that follows her into every family gathering. Successful, independent, and accomplished, she has everything-except the one thing her family believes defines a woman. A husband. Desperate for peace, Shalom makes a bold decision: she hires a stranger to pose as her fiancé for one week. Just long enough to survive her family's scrutiny. Just long enough to silence the pressure. Ethan Thompson fits the role too perfectly. He's charming, attentive, and effortlessly convincing. He knows how to win smiles, tell the right stories, and play the part of the man everyone approves of. The agreement is simple-pretend, keep emotions out of it, and walk away when the week ends. But something about Ethan doesn't add up. As the days pass, Shalom begins to notice the cracks beneath his flawless performance. The guarded glances. The stories he avoids. The past he refuses to explain. And when whispers from her family hint that Ethan isn't who he claims to be, doubt creeps in-along with feelings she never planned for. Then the truth surfaces. Ethan isn't just a hired fiancé. He's a single father with a complicated past and secrets that could shatter everything they've built-fake or not. Suddenly, Shalom is caught between protecting her heart, protecting her family, and protecting two innocent children who never asked to be part of the lie. When the week ends, the pretending must stop. But some lies leave consequences. And some feelings refuse to disappear. Hired for a Week is an emotionally charged contemporary romance filled with slow-burn tension, hidden truths, family pressure, and a love that begins as an act-but may cost everything to walk away from. Will Shalom uncover the truth before it's too late... or will one week change her life forever? Scroll up and start reading to find out.
