Pretty Rings and Broken Things: A Billionaire Arranged Marriage Romance (Black Tie Billionaires)

Pretty rings can't always fix broken things.


Unfortunately, that doesn't stop powerful men from trying. Which is why instead of getting the wedding I'd always dreamed of, I was forced to marry the heir to our rival company and join a family that we've hated for generations.


An arranged marriage to make our problem disappear.


Then again, I'm the one that snuck around behind my father's back and ended up at the center of a scandal that could ruin my family's reputation.

Now the only person who can protect me is the cold and calculated billionaire, Archer Moore.


The marriage was only supposed to be for show, but Archer can be very convincing. He's demanded we move in together. That we kiss. That we make it look-and feel-real. He's a man who is obsessed with getting what he wants-and I'm starting to think what he wants is me.


But the closer we get, and the less we pretend, the more I question if the grudges between our families are too much to overcome for a marriage that was built on pretty rings and broken things.



Pretty Rings and Broken Things is a billionaire, arranged marriage romance releasing early 2024. It is Winnie's book and a complete standalone.

Winnie Bishop didn’t do anything wrong “except maybe sleeping with someone within the family business.” She’d gone to bed thinking she’d fallen for a man. She woke up to find that same man betrayed her. Now she’s forced to marry a man she was raised to hate. “Archer Moore—the cold, calculated man I’ve been told to avoid my entire life—is on his knees for me. And it might be my favorite thing I’ve ever seen.” “You could say it wasn’t exactly love at first sight…I had no desire to seek him out. There are so many people to speak with at those events; how was I to know that the heir to my family’s rival wanted to speak with me?” But “One pointed smile aimed at me and I’m almost melting at his feet. Or maybe it’s the ring he just placed on my finger that I’m well aware had to have had a hefty price tag.” She’s soft and sweet. He’s hot and cold, mysterious but blunt, and one of the most coveted men. The two of them have a marriage on paper and for appearances only. He may call her his wife, but he’d better not expect to have her trust. She may call him her husband, but she’d better not make him out to be a good man. He doesn’t mix business with pleasure, but will he make her pleasure his business? When Archer goes from him confessing his love to Winnie to telling her his family is planning to take everything hers has ever worked for, sparks fly. But “Love can ease even the harshest of grudges.” Will they find a way to mend the bridge between the Bishops and the Moores and right the wrongs of their fathers and forefathers? Will going against their fathers ultimately bring hope for a better future for both their families? Can their kiss be the start of their forever and a happily ever after between two families everyone thought were feuding? Kat Singleton’s Pretty Rings and Broken Things is a constellation!

Yes to chapters and chapters of spice in this “arranged marriage” novel. Kat Singleton does not disappoint fans of “Black Ties and White Lies” in her newest release. “Pretty Rings and Broken Things” gets right to the point and there’s no denying how EPIC Archer is as a MMC. The banter, character growth, and overall storyline is wonderful. And the 5 straight chapters of spice are wonderful as well. I swooned over this novel in and can’t wait for others to read “Pretty Rings and Broken Things”
