Anna was desperate for housing at UCLA, so when a friend suggested she marry his brother so they could live in family housing, it seemed like a no brainer to her. She and her “husband” West barely saw each other, and when they graduated, they filed divorce papers and went their separate ways.
Three years later, Anna is an artist who is barely making ends meet. Much to her surprise, West (whose real name is Liam) shows up, telling her that they never really got divorced. But he has another bombshell for her: he’s an heir to Weston Foods, one of the largest grocery chains.
But while Liam is a member of that family, he has no desire to work for the company. However, there’s the matter of his $100 million trust fund—which he can only access if he’s been married for five years. So, since he and Anna are technically married, he offers to pay her to be his wife at his sister’s wedding. But the wedding is at a private island in Singapore, so she’ll be on display in front of his entire family as well as the press.
With no real income, Anna agrees to attend the wedding with her “husband.” But she quickly realizes how toxic the relationships are in the Weston family—between Liam and his father, Liam and his older brother, and his father with, well, nearly everyone else. All the money in the world is just a tool to get what he wants from his family.
Fake dating and second-chance love? Sign me up. But this book has memorable characters, seriously steamy steam, terrific banter, and emotional richness—nothing like toxic families! And of course, I wouldn’t mind an overwater bungalow on an island!!
This book will publish 5/14.
