Husband In Law Novel

Waitress and student Gina is determined to marry before turning twenty-five to escape her family's belief that unmarried women past that age become spinsters forever, like her relatives. She harbors secret feelings for Ace, her coworker who constantly teases her at the upscale restaurant where they both work. When Ace abruptly proposes marriage without any prior courtship, his unromantic offer is far from what Gina imagined. Yet she accepts, viewing it as her opportunity to break her family's curse before her deadline. However, she presents her own conditions for their union. The proposal deeply affects Ace, a cold and distant man who is actually an undercover agent posing as a waiter. He insists their marriage is solely to protect her, crushing Gina's hopes. Despite his intentions to keep their arrangement purely nominal and temporary, Ace struggles to resist Gina's allure and advances as their marriage progresses.
