The Husband Hoax by Saxon James, published by May Books on February 6, 2023, is a contemporary romance that explores the complexities of family and identity. In this 282-page novel, Christian faces a daunting family reunion after a decade of estrangement, driven by the need to prove his success to relatives who have long turned their backs on him. To navigate this challenging situation, he devises a plan to hire a date with an impressive online presence, aiming to regain his family’s acceptance. However, when his date cancels at the last minute, Christian’s plans take an unexpected turn.
Émile, on the other hand, finds himself in a predicament of his own after receiving a letter from his late grandfather, which stipulates that he must marry to inherit a significant fortune.

Official synopsis Publisher
Christian
Being invited to my cousin’s wedding really shouldn’t be a big deal except, oh yeah, I haven’t seen my family for a decade.
My parents turned their backs on me and I’ve done everything since to become successful and show them what they lost. Only, it’s kinda hard to be a success when you’re a walking trainwreck.
So I’m going to fake it. Hire a guy with an online presence so impressive they’ll be desperate to welcome me back into the elitist fold, and roll into the wedding with the kind of confidence I’ve never felt a day in my life.
The plan’s a knockout.
Until my fake date cancels minutes before the ceremony.
Émile
One letter from my dearly departed grandfather, and suddenly I’m on a husband hunt.
He’s reworked his entire will so I’m set to inherit far more than I’m entitled to, and all because he’s asked me to use that money for “good.”
In order to get that inheritance, though, there’s one stipulation: marriage.
Even with his request, I’m tempted to stick to my original plan of getting as far from my wretched family as possible, and letting them fight it out.
But then I run into a tall drink of scattered mess outside of a wedding who’s in desperate need of a date, and the pieces click into place.
I help him, he helps me.
Marriage, money, then go our separate ways.
Easy.
Now all I have to do is stop myself from actually falling for the guy.
