Here is Louisa Master's "Asher." It's the first novel in her Demons-In-Law series, which is a Hidden Species spin-off
["When your imaginary boyfriend turns up in your hometown, marriage is the only option.
I’m not anti-relationship, but my life is good right now, and love is not a priority. Too bad my grandmother disagrees. People say she’s scary, and sure, some of her enemies went missing under mysterious circumstances, but she loves me and wants the best for me… which, right now, is marriage. The matchmaking is a lot, and she’s not letting up. What’s a demon to do except invent a long-distance boyfriend?
That backfires hard when the one-night stand I based my fake boyfriend on arrives in our tiny village. Garrett’s here to help our cut-off town assimilate with the rest of the Community of Species. He’s not expecting to find he has a boyfriend he knew nothing about.
It doesn’t take me long to convince him to agree to my new plan. I need the matchmaking to stop; he needs our insular little community to accept and trust him. The perfect solution: marriage. A business agreement with a time limit.
Just business.
Until he demands more. A sexy, nerdy hellhound in my bed isn’t a deal breaker.
But as we get closer to our end date, it gets harder for me to imagine life without him. And when my little cousin goes missing, it’s Garrett who saves the day… and reveals secrets the village didn’t know we had."]
These two!! D: I can't. They were perfect! Lust at first sight. Smitten at second (okay so panic and frustration and acceptance at second, but you get my point). Love at third.
Almost everyone could have told you that Garrett and Asher were in love, for real in love. It took them a bittttt longer to catch on, which always makes the marriage-of-connivence plot all the more juicy. And, juuuust when you think they'll catch on to the depth of their feelings, it flies right over their head. It was adorable.
As was watching stoic Garrett turn into a cute, puppy-eyed, professor-version of Alistair AND watching serious as fuck, demons-don't-reallly-smile Asher continuously cave to Garrett's smiles. The two of them were (are) so serious, but they're so soft for each other and for their love for each other. It was perfect!
It was also really fun watching the cousins (Asher's cousin = Gideon; Garrett's cousin = Alistair) fight it out like the good-ol'-days. Looooved that for us.
