BLURB What happens when a billionaire's carefully ordered world collides with a woman who refuses to be bought? Sophie Anderson has two rules: never trust a rich man, and never compromise your values for money. But when her mother's cancer treatment costs spiral out of control and she loses her job for standing up to an arrogant customer, she's forced to break both rules. Alexander Sterling needs a wife in thirty days or lose his billion-dollar inheritance to his manipulative father. When he remembers the fierce waitress who had the audacity to dump wine on his suit, he sees the perfect solution - a woman who already hates him can't possibly fall in love with him. The contract was simple, one year of marriage, no emotions, no complications. But as Sophie navigates the treacherous waters of Manhattan high society and Alex discovers there's more to his fake wife than meets the eye, their carefully constructed walls begin to crumble. With enemies closing in and family secrets threatening to destroy everything, Sophie and Alex must decide if their pretend marriage is worth fighting for - or if love was never part of the deal. In a world where everything has a price, can two people from different worlds find something money can't buy? An enemies-to-lovers romance full of family drama, corporate intrigue, and a love that refuses to stay fake.
