The Black Wife Effect

As an elite matchmaker with a perfectly planned life, my days revolved around crafting fairy-tale romances for others—while secretly devouring steamy, dark billionaire novels at night. Those stories were my escape, a guilty pleasure that added a thrill to my otherwise orderly world. I knew they weren’t real, but I couldn’t help craving the kind of wild adventure they promised.

Enter Will Huntley: a gorgeous, arrogant billionaire who wasn’t looking for love—he wanted a fake wife, and he wanted me. One minute I was sipping coffee, the next I was waking up on his private jet to Paris, kidnapped into the kind of over-the-top romance I’d only read about. It was insane. It was reckless. And it was starting to feel dangerously real.

The Black Wife Effect, from award-winning creator Taccara Martin, is a hilarious and swoon-worthy romantic comedy about what happens when fantasy crashes headfirst into real life. Set against the dreamy backdrop of Paris, this is a story of unexpected love, laugh-out-loud moments, and discovering that sometimes the best adventures are the ones you never saw coming.
