The Story Behind Hot Arrangement
The only fake-marriage story in the catalogue where the heroine is the one with the hidden plan.
Hot Arrangement opens with a joke — a numbered list of how not to fall in love with your boss, followed by the admission that she has done every single item on it. That comic voice runs through the whole book and makes it the most purely entertaining title in the Hot Billionaire Daddies series.
Underneath the humour is a genuine reversal. In almost every fake-relationship romance the hero is the strategist and the heroine is the one caught up in it. Here she says outright that she has an agenda of her own, and the book keeps its word about that.
How NOT to fall in love with your boss:
#1 Don't fall for him after a night of passion.
#2 Don't agree to pretend to be his wife.
#3 Don't wind up pregnant with his secret love child.
Guess what I did?
Every single one of these things.
Billionaire playboy, Duke Nolan slid a big sparkly diamond on my finger to help him claim a seat on the board of the Science Museum. But I have an agenda all my own.
To have and to hold... I'm aching for more than our sweaty, one-night fling.
He's playing pretend. I'm playing for keeps.
Fans of fake-marriage and office-romance tropes will be left swooning by Amazon Best Seller, Suzanne Hart's sizzling older-man-younger-woman masterpiece!
This is the publisher’s official description for Hot Arrangement, as it appears on the book’s Amazon listing.What Happens in Hot Arrangement
The order of events is what makes this one unusual. The night of passion comes first, the fake marriage second, and the pregnancy third — which means every stage of the arrangement is contaminated by something real that already happened between them.
Duke needs a wife to secure a board seat at the Science Museum, a motive that is refreshingly small-scale for a billionaire romance. It is not an empire or a revenge plot; it is a civic appointment he wants, and the modesty of it keeps the book light.
Her agenda is the engine. She states from the beginning that she wants more than the fling, and she has entered the arrangement knowing that. The usual dynamic — hero manipulates, heroine is swept along — is inverted, and she is the one running a long game.
The surprise baby lands into a marriage that is legally performative and emotionally not. Working out which parts of it were ever really pretend is what the last act is for. Standalone, full-length, HEA.
Why Readers Keep Recommending This One
-
She is the schemer
"He's playing pretend. I'm playing for keeps" is the whole book in seven words, and it flips the standard fake-marriage power dynamic in a way readers find genuinely refreshing.
-
The funniest opening in the catalogue
A numbered list of rules followed immediately by admitting she broke all three. That comic self-awareness sets a tone the book maintains throughout.
-
A small, believable motive
He needs a board seat at a museum. Not a hostile takeover, not a dying grandfather's will. The modesty of the stakes makes the arrangement feel plausible.
-
Order of operations
Sleeping together before the fake marriage means the pretence is never clean. Every performed moment has a real one behind it, which is much more interesting than the usual sequence.
Tropes & Themes in Hot Arrangement
A fake-marriage variant with the roles reversed.
Entered into after they have already slept together, so the pretence is compromised from the start.
Arrives inside the fake marriage, which makes the legal fiction abruptly consequential.
She has her own agenda and says so. The rarest element in the book and the reason it stands out.
Duke's motive is a museum board seat rather than an empire — unusually modest for the subgenre.
The workplace relationship underlies the arrangement and complicates every part of it.
The official description calls it out directly as the core appeal.

Questions Readers Ask About Hot Arrangement
What readers ask about Duke and his arrangement.
Is it a standalone?
Yes — the title itself says so. Book three of eight, with its own couple and complete story.
What is her secret agenda?
She wants more than the one night, and she enters the fake marriage knowing that. The book is upfront about it, which is what makes her the schemer rather than the schemed-upon.
Do they sleep together before or after the fake marriage?
Before. The night of passion is item one on her list of rules broken, and it happens first — which compromises the pretence from the outset.
Is it a comedy?
Not a romantic comedy exactly, but the narrating voice is comic and self-aware. It is the lightest book in the series.
How long is it?
298 pages — a full-length novel.
Cliffhanger?
None. Standalone with a happily ever after.
Is it on Kindle Unlimited?
Yes, currently free with a Kindle Unlimited subscription.
He's Playing Pretend. She's Playing for Keeps.
Three rules about not falling for your boss, all three broken, and a diamond ring with an agenda behind it. The funniest book in the series.
