Strictly Temporary is Ella Fox’s series about a romance that starts with a firm time limit. Volume One (2015) introduces a couple who agree to keep things casual and temporary, with predictably complicated results.
The setup is a familiar one in contemporary romance: two people set rules for their relationship, and then feelings get in the way. Fox writes the tension between the characters’ agreement and their growing attachment as the central conflict. The “temporary” arrangement gives the story a built-in clock that pushes the plot forward.
Fox is also known for her Hart Family series and the Renegade Saints books. Strictly Temporary shares her direct writing style and preference for emotionally charged romance. Readers who enjoy the “fake relationship” or “friends with benefits” subgenres will find this one fits that mold.
