Jumia Books Imperfect Match - Vikki Jay

"Imperfect Match" by Vikki Jay is a billionaire, marriage-of-convenience romance and the first book in the Elixir Bachelor Billionaires series. The story follows Charles A. Hawthorne, a billionaire and royalty in Cherrywood, and his longtime assistant Daisy Hazy Price. When the media starts a witch hunt about Charles’s bachelor status just before he is about to become CEO, Daisy agrees to marry him on paper to deflect the negative press.

As they live together and share a room, their relationship deepens beyond the contract. Daisy sees a different, more vulnerable side of Charles, and their fake marriage begins to blur into something real. However, their imperfect compatibility surfaces, especially when Daisy becomes pregnant and Charles’s fear of fatherhood causes a painful breakup and a five-month separation. Despite his initial reluctance, Charles gradually comes around, showing care from afar and eventually deciding he wants to be a dad, leading to their reconciliation near the story’s end.

The novel is a slow burn that carefully develops the characters and their emotional journeys, balancing witty banter and chemistry with deeper themes of fear, responsibility, and love. It also features a meddling ex-boyfriend and explores the complexities of their imperfect match. Readers praise the engaging characters and emotional depth, making it a standout in the billionaire romance and marriage-of-convenience subgenres
