Nothing Serious: A Marriage of Convenience, Secret Baby, Second Chance Romance
I agree to a fake marriage with William Moore to save my father’s company after his death, but I never expect our wedding night to be real. And I certainly don’t expect the two lines on a pregnancy test.
My husband wants nothing to do with me. A deal is a deal; he lives his life with another woman and successfully manages my assets, while I stay out of sight and out of mind.
At least until fate brings us face to face again, outside the clinic where our little girl is being treated.Now the man who once swore our marriage was just business suddenly wants a second chance.
But can love grow from lies, secrets, and a marriage of convenience that was never meant to be real?
“Nothing Serious” is a heart-wrenching marriage of convenience romance with a secret baby twist and a powerful second chance love story.
Perfect for readers who enjoy emotional slow burn, billionaire heroes, fake marriage tropes, and forbidden chemistry that turns real.

Ridiculous!
**SPOILERS**
Sooo there are the cheating husband tropes, and then there are THE CHEATING HUSBAND TROPES! Nothing Serious takes this trope to a whole nother’ level!
William is in bed with his…uh, girlfriend/mistress when he gets a call from a doctor saying his kid got into an accident and broke her arm. He’s confused as heck because he doesn’t have a kid. He has a “wife” in name only, Madison, that he basically kicked out of his life five years ago so he could get together with his freaking mistress, Kyla. He’s annoyed because he’s decided that Madison must’ve gotten pregnant during the five years she was away from him and put his name down as the father. He goes to the E.R. And runs into Madison. When he sees Emily, the little girl he’s shocked…she looks exactly like him. He corners Madison, asks her why she didn’t tell him about the baby. She’s annoyed, and tells him they’ll talk later.
William comes back and asks Madison why she didn’t tell him she was pregnant. She gets angry and tells him that she tried, but he kicked her out, and reminded her that their marriage was just a contract, and that he was already with Kyla. He tells her he wants to get to know Emily and wants to be in her life. Madison tells him that they are getting a divorce and she’s getting married to her boyfriend Gregory in two months. William goes home and breaks up with Kyla who freaks out. She tells him she spent all these years with him and she’s not letting him cast her aside. He tells her to get lost.
William starts showing up and Emily really likes him. He wants Madison to tell her he’s her father, but Madison wants to wait. There at a friends birthday party when the friend tells him that he clearly has feelings for Madison and that he needs to win her over so they can be a complete family. Emily gets upset because a kid tells her she’s fatherless. Madison tells Emily that William is her father, well William actually tells her he’s her dad. Emily is very happy but Madison is torn. She loved William, that was why she married him. She had hoped that once they were married she could win him over, but he was sleeping with Kyla the whole time, and then he finally told her that they’d stay married for the contract, but would live separate lives and that she needed to leave. She rebuilt her life and raised her daughter alone…so letting William back into her life is very hard for her. But Emily adores her father, and William is trying very hard to win Madison over. Kyla is awful, and tries to poison Madison against William, and Gregory is still in the picture. Eventually Kyla helps orchestrate Madison’s kidnapping. William rescues her, and they admit they live each other. Kyla is arrested, and Gregory says goodbye. William and Madison live HEA, and in the epilogue they have a new baby son.
**THOUGHTS/OPINIONS**
Okay, just how ridiculous can one book be. There are a lot of cheating tropes out there, but this one takes the freaking cake! Madison was a doormat!!! She accepted a contractual marriage with a man who was in a freaking relationship with another woman KNOWING that when they got married they’d live separate lives and that he’d still live and sleep with his freaking mistress Kyla!! She put up with him, maintained his home, helped him at work, and ACCEPTED his blatant cheating!!! Then William kicks her out so he can “move on” with his mistress and she just goes quietly into the night?! When William renters her life she just lets him. I know they have a kid together but she doesn’t make him grovel at all!!! And William, I’ve never been so disgusted by a MMC before!! He was disgusting, truly scum! He wasn’t a redeemable character! This was a man who wanted his cake and to eat it too! He wanted the perfect little wife, and the flirty mistress. He wanted to keep the wife at home, and the mistress in his bed. He literally stayed married to his wife even though he kicked her out ages ago. The man was gross!!! And Madison wasn’t much better! What sort of “strong” woman just allows herself to be used, abused, and stay in a “fake” marriage for years knowing her husband is sleeping with his long time mistress!! A woman with no self respect, obviously! These two characters honestly deserved one another! They both had no moral compass and were pathetic disgusting cheaters!! This book made me sick to my stomach. I only gave it 2 stars because it was written somewhat well, otherwise I would’ve given it one star!

Great
This was a great marriage of convenience story. Loved the characters and loved to hate the protagonist.
Everything you want for this trope.

When the 5 yr old girl says the strange man she just met ““You’re handsome,” she says in a breathy whisper.” I was out,DNF. Breathy? ick 🤢
Pretty sure it’s AI written too. Arisha Yang translated this to English. She didn’t write it per publishing note in the book.

Great Drama , Questionable Characters
First off I loved the book. It was paced very well and had a lot of cute moments but also moments of tension. I won’t deny though that half the book I went “Really William?”. Has a wife in the same city as him, with his daughter Emily whom he has no idea about. Then once he discovers Emily, he basically just does a 180. He does all the women in his life dirty at some point. His girlfriend is valid in 90% of her anger. It was all messy but it was super entertaining and a great quick read.

He really messed up!
William is the opposite of a good hero in addition to being a bad judge of character. While an astute business man, he messes up and is separate from his wife for 5 years.
Lots of back and forth before a HEA.

William is really not smart!
Madison loved William, but he married her out of obligation and then chased her out of his life remaining with his girlfriend instead. When he finds out he is a father he realizes he really never knew Madison.

blah
Not realistic story. Characters are immature. Skips over important details. Pass on this one. The ending seems abrupt and hanging.
