Married by Mistake. Este artículo no está disponible.Married by Mistake

When a heartbroken woman's worst night collides with a stranger's reckless one, it turns an accidental "I do" into the most expensive mistake either of them has ever made.

Belinda Anderson has always believed in careful plans - the kind that don't involve confetti cannons going off at the exact wrong moment, or a boyfriend of three years calling her a fling in front of both their families. So when she runs to Bali to fall apart in private, the last thing she plans on is a bottle of whiskey, a stranger with tired eyes, and a beachside chapel that definitely shouldn't have let them in.

That stranger is Roman Lawrence, a lawyer running from his own wreckage of a life, who wakes up married to a woman whose middle name he doesn't know. Before either of them can say annulment, Roman hits the jackpot on a resort slot machine - using Belinda's father's lucky coin - and turns their drunken mistake into a three-hundred-million-dollar headline neither of them can escape.

A judge with no patience for their nonsense has one solution: twelve months, one house, and a marriage they have to prove is real - or lose the money to charity. Now Belinda and Roman are stuck sharing a kitchen, a court-mandated therapist, and a chemistry neither of them asked for, while the whole country places bets on whether they'll fall in love or file for divorce first.

Belinda discovers that the only thing harder to plan for than a fake marriage is a real one trying to happen right underneath it.

Erika Alagba writes stories about love as it really is-complicated, resilient, and shaped by the seasons we don't always expect. Her work explores marriage, grief, identity, and the quiet moments when people are forced to choose between endurance and self-preservation.

With a deep interest in human behavior and emotional healing, she draws from years of listening to stories that rarely make it into neat conversations. Her writing is grounded in compassion, honesty, and the belief that telling the truth can be a form of care.

This is her first novel, written for women and families who have felt stretched to their limits and are still searching for clarity, hope, and the courage to begin again.

She believes that becoming yourself is not an act of rebellion, but an act of survival.
