The Paradise Problem

Some relationships are built on convenience—until they become something real.

The Paradise Problem follows Anna Green, a struggling artist who thought her college marriage of convenience was long behind her—until her ex-husband, Liam “West” Weston, reappears with a proposal: pretend they’re still married to secure his massive inheritance. What starts as a carefully controlled arrangement quickly unravels as old chemistry resurfaces and real feelings begin to complicate everything.

Christina Lauren delivers a swoony, high-energy rom-com filled with sharp banter, tropical escapism, and emotional depth. With its mix of fake marriage, second chances, and opposites-attract tension, this story explores vulnerability, identity, and what happens when a past relationship refuses to stay in the past.

Perfect for readers who love:
• fake marriage
• second-chance romance
• opposites-attract dynamics
• tropical / vacation settings
• witty, heartfelt rom-coms
