The Proposal Pact

The Proposal Pact – A Heartfelt Fake Marriage Romance
A deal between best friends. A love that was never supposed to happen.
Six years ago, I left the town I once called home—leaving behind heartbreak, memories, and the one person who meant everything to me. Now, I'm back, ready for a fresh start with my daughter by my side.
What I didn't expect? Running into Túlio, my childhood best friend. The boy who once knew all my secrets is now a man who makes my heart race in ways I can't ignore. And when my ex-husband resurfaces, threatening to take my daughter away, Túlio steps in with an outrageous solution:
"Marry me."
A fake marriage will make me look like the stable parent the courts want to see. It's just a temporary arrangement, a legal strategy. Nothing more. After all, we've only ever been friends.
But as we move in together, share a home, and navigate this charade, the lines start to blur. The way he looks at me isn't friendly anymore. The way he holds my daughter, protects her like his own—it makes me want things I promised myself I'd never want again.
This was supposed to be just a proposal pact.
A simple agreement.
No feelings. No risks. No falling in love.
But the heart doesn't follow the rules... and neither does Túlio.
