Synopsis

A baby on the way. A wedding on the horizon. And a billionaire mayor who will do anything to make his wife-to-be smile.

Daphne Delphine thought she’d finally found her happy ending—with a swoon-worthy proposal, a powerful fiancé, and a future that finally felt like hers. But when she discovers she’s pregnant, her joy is quickly tempered by fear. Will this derail Cal’s political career? Can she still have the elegant, perfect wedding she’s always dreamed of—or will she just be the “pregnant bride”?

For Cal Markham, the answer is simple: love comes first. He’s ready to build a life with Daphne, baby and all. But Daphne isn’t so easily convinced. Still grieving her father, untangling the mess left by her ex, and battling Cal’s overbearing mother, she can’t help but wonder if happiness is too much to hope for.

Cal has one more move to make—a grand gesture to prove their future is everything. But will his surprise be the perfect solution… or just another complication?

Matrimonial Merger is a heartwarming follow-up to Executive Decision, packed with family drama, emotional healing, and the kind of swoon-worthy moments only Daphne and Cal can deliver.

NOTE: This is a follow-up novella to Executive Decision and is not a standalone. Readers will want to grab that book first.
