Alexer Smith needs money. Adrian Ashford needs a wife. When an ordinary young woman and Los Angeles’ most powerful billionaire cross paths again, Adrian makes her an offer she never expected: marry him for six months, and he will pay her enough money to solve her family’s financial problems. There are only a few rules. No falling in love. No jealousy. No interfering in each other’s private lives. And when the six months are over, they walk away. Alexer thinks the arrangement will be easy. She is wrong. Living with Adrian reveals a man hidden beneath the billionaire image. He is kinder than she expected, more vulnerable than he admits, and slowly becoming impossible for her to resist. But as their fake marriage begins to feel real, Alexer realizes that following the rules is becoming harder. When their secret contract is eventually exposed, Alexer discovers that Adrian’s family and enemies are willing to destroy everything to separate them. Now Adrian has to choose between the empire he spent his entire life building and the woman who taught him what love actually means.
