Falling in love was not in their wedding vows…



Loren Cane is in a downward spiral. Since her fiancé left her, she’s been juggling multiple jobs, mounting bills, and a father who’s slipping away. The only thing she has left is the found family that anchors her.



Namely, Bridger Adams.



Bridger has been hiding his secret wealth, his powerful influence, and the brutal condition attached to both: Walk down the aisle with a woman chosen for him, or sacrifice control of the trust fund that could save everything he cares about.



Especially Loren Cane.



Loren knows she can’t afford to lose Bridger. But as his deadline looms, her situation turns critical, and she proposes something outrageous:



Marry me instead.



On the surface, her solution is practical and mutually beneficial. Their wedding vows conveniently protect what matters most.



But as the boundaries of their friendship blur into something dangerously real, a new demand threatens to tear them apart.



Now, Loren and Bridger face an impossible choice:



Stay married and fight for love…



Or walk away with the money and lose each other.
