Only because it's you : a novel / Rebecca Fisseha.

Summary:

"Miz doesn't "do" marriage. Her parents have been separated for decades and half the weddings she was a bridesmaid in have ended in divorce. She is not the marrying kind. What Miz does "do" is go on dates with her casual-but-very-hot boyfriend, Daniel. ... That is, until Miz accidentally finds a ring box, with an actual engagement ring, in his gym bag. She panics, hides the ring, and immediately breaks up with Daniel. Then, when her best friend Kal, an aspiring actor, finds himself at risk of losing his visa, Miz is devastated. If Kal is forced to leave Toronto and return to Ethiopia, who knows when they'll see each other again? How will Miz survive without him? Suddenly, she knows what to do: She will marry Kal and sign immigration papers for him so that he can stay in Canada. He'll keep pursuing his dream of being an actor, and she'll keep her best friend. It's the perfect setup for them: a brief marriage of convenience. Between two people who are just friends. Right?"-- Provided by publisher.

    "Full of humour and heartwarming moments—Rebecca delivers pure joy!" —Chantel Guertin, bestselling author of It Happened One Christmas

    Sometimes you need to take a leap of faith to land exactly where you're meant to be . . .


    Miz is not the marrying kind. She's more of the no-strings-attached kind. No labels, only fun. So, when she finds a diamond ring in her casual-but-very-hot hook-up's gym bag, she immediately ends things and runs.

    Kal is one of Miz's best friends, an aspiring actor who moved to Toronto from Ethiopia and is on the brink of his big break. But when he's suddenly at risk of having to return home and leave Toronto forever, Miz panics. She can't imagine her life without Kal.

    There's only one solution: Miz will marry Kal to become his spou­sal sponsor. He'll get to keep pursuing his acting career, and she'll get to keep her best friend in the city. It'll be a quick, short only-on-paper marriage between friends, followed by a quick, easy divorce. Nothing will change, and life will go back to normal. Right?
