Marriage by Contract is a three-book romance series by Maya Alden published in 2024 and 2025. The “Wrong” titles – The Wrong Husband, The Wrong Bride, and The Wrong Fiancee – establish the series premise: characters who find themselves paired with the wrong person before discovering their true match.
The contractual marriage trope is a romance reader favorite, and Alden puts her own spin on it across the three books. Each entry explores a different variation on the theme, with characters navigating the gap between obligation and genuine feeling.
