One protective tattoo artist. One chronically ill lawyer. One fake marriage that feels way too real. “I said, marry me.” Atlas: Marrying Lauren Locklear was supposed to be a practical solution. She needed insurance. I needed her safe. Easy. Except nothing’s ever easy with Ren. She’s stubborn, guarded, and convinced no one could love someone like her. But I do. I always have. And now that I’ve got her in my life, I’m not letting go. Ren: I’ve made some reckless decisions. Like saying yes to marrying the man I’ve secretly crushed on for years. It’s not real. It’s a paper marriage. Except it doesn’t feel fake when he’s looking at me like that. It feels like everything I’ve ever wanted. Atlas is a reverse grumpy-sunshine, marriage-of-convenience romance between a fierce tattoo artist and a woman who’s forgotten how to feel safe—until now.
