Declan
I’m destined to become the next CEO of my family’s media empire.
The only problem? My grandfather’s inheritance clause.
Fulfilling his dying wish of getting married and having an heir seemed impossible until my assistant volunteers for the job.
Our marriage was supposed to be the perfect solution to my biggest problem.
But the more we act in love for the public, the more unsure I feel about our contract.
Caring about Iris was never part of the deal.
Especially not when breaking her heart is inevitable.

Iris
My plan to marry Declan was simple in theory.
Move in together. Throw a wedding. Have a baby.
We set rules to prevent any kind of issues.
Ones that were never meant to be broken, no matter how much Declan tempts me.
But what happens when our fake relationship bleeds into our real one?
Falling in love was never an option.
At least not for me.

Review

'You taught me a secret language
I can't speak with anyone else'
- illicit affairs, Taylor Swift and the line that inspired this book

I waited decades for this book and it did not disappoint! This was worth the wait! I was curious about those too when they where first mentioned in The Fine Print and I’m so happy that we finally have their book!

Iris - can you be my new best friend?
I’m truly in love with her character! She is so unique as a main character - a dyslexic black woman with love for plants and a love for Santi our favorite racer of all time.
She is pure joy to read about and I loved the way she was portrayed. All of her actions and reactions seemed real and relatable and she could truly be the crazy plant lady living next door! And if she would, I would be there 24/7 forcing a friendship on her!

And our man Declan finally got his book and ohhh he did not disappoint! I was so excited about him and he was exactly how I wished him to be!
Grumpy boss who lives to work only but he has one weakness: Iris! And to be honest, is this too much to wish for in real life? Their love story is how I dream mine to be! My potential husband needs to read this book cause that’s the only way I want it!
Their love is something to look up to and take as an example!

This book made my happier than I’ve been in a while! I stopped reading this only to eat and devoured this in one day! Declan and Iris had me in a grip I couldn’t get out of - and frankly didn’t want to either. I have no idea how it is possible but it’s even better than the first one!

I’m in desperate need for Cals book now!
I probably, since his book isn’t happening anytime soon, will reread Rowan and Zahra’s book again! I can’t let my Dreamland Billionaires go yet!
