Poppy: The Bribed Bride by Kade Vale
Available Now
Blurb
A hilarious fake-bride rom-com about a romance book reviewer who accidentally overhears a private breakup in a garden... and gets mistaken for a billionaire’s missing bride.
Instead of correcting the mistake, she panics and says, “Yes.”
Now Poppy Lane has ten days to survive his old-money estate, his terrifying family, and her chaotic friends, who move in pretending to be her eccentric fake family.
Poppy knows every romance trope by heart.
She never expected to become one.
As a romance novel reviewer, Poppy Lane has read hundreds of love stories. She knows every setup, every red flag, and every fake-dating rule.
But Weston Blackwood is not a trope she can safely review from a distance.
He is cold, controlled, dangerously hard to read, and heir to a powerful old-money family that cannot afford another scandal.
He needs a bride.
She needs money before an eviction notice destroys what little stability she has left.
So they make a deal:
Ten days. One fake engagement. One performance convincing enough to save them both.
The rules are simple:
Smile for the guests. Survive the family. Keep your boundaries. Do not fall for the groom.
Easy, until Wes stops pretending.
Between sharp banter, wedding chaos, old-money secrets, a terrifyingly elegant matriarch, a cousin who weaponizes courtesy, and a found family determined to keep Poppy alive and emotionally inconvenient, the line between performance and truth begins to blur.
Because Poppy may know every romance trope on the page...
But surviving one is another story.
POPPY is a sharp, emotional fake-bride romantic comedy about boundaries, found family, slow-burn tension, and two people who pretend to fall in love until the lie becomes the safest truth they have.
One hedge maze. One wrong bride. One chance to stop pretending.
Perfect for readers who love fake dating, fake engagement, grumpy x sunshine, old-money family drama, sharp banter, wedding chaos, found family, and slow-burn romance with a guaranteed happy ending.
