If the Ring Fits

If the Ring Fits is the second novel in Camilla Isley's Funny Feelings series, an age-gap, marriage-of-convenience romantic comedy.

Investment banker Adrian tells a lie to impress his CEO: he invents a fiancée on the spot. When the lie needs a face, he finds himself proposing to Rowena, a software engineer he's just met, on the worst day of her career. Rowena has just lost her job and discovered she's pregnant with no father in the picture — a fake engagement to a wealthy stranger looks less like a mistake and more like a lifeline.

What starts as a business arrangement — a ring, a cover story, separate rules — gets complicated fast. Overnight trips mean one bed. Public appearances mean real conversations. The more Adrian and Rowena keep up the act, the harder it becomes to remember which parts are pretend.

Written in Isley's comic voice, the book follows the pair through the escalating absurdities of pretending to be a couple while genuinely falling for each other, testing whether an engagement built on a lie can turn into something real.
