From New York Times bestselling authors and “the reigning queens of romance” (PopSugar) comes a swoony, sharp, and escapist love story about an accidental marriage, a fake reunion, and the kind of love money can’t buy.
Anna Green thought she was marrying Liam “West” Weston for a practical reason—access to UCLA’s subsidized family housing. She also thought she’d signed the divorce papers when the graduation caps were tossed and they went their separate ways.
Three years later, Anna’s a starving artist barely scraping by, and West is a Stanford professor—one of four heirs to the Weston Foods empire. He wants nothing to do with the family’s cutthroat business, but he is interested in his one-hundred-million-dollar inheritance. The problem? Thanks to an old-fashioned clause in his grandfather’s will, he won’t see a dime unless he’s been happily married for five years.
West thought he’d coast through the final stretch of his fake marriage unnoticed, until his family demands to finally meet his mysterious wife. Now, the only person who can save his plan is the one woman he never expected to see again: his not-so-ex-wife, Anna.
As the two fake their way through family dinners, lavish parties, and old memories, sparks start to fly—and pretending becomes dangerously real. But when love and money collide, West must decide if his inheritance is worth more than the one thing he can’t buy back: Anna’s heart.
Perfect for fans of The Unhoneymooners and The Love Hypothesis, this laugh-out-loud, slow-burn romance proves that sometimes the best things in life aren’t part of the plan.
