When the star captain of Boston Hockey College, who happens to be the son of the Governor of Massachusetts, and his alternate captain go to war over me, their bitter rivalry threatens to turn the ice into a battlefield. My boyfriend of five years, Elvis Nelson, destroys everything we have built when I catch him cheating on me with my best friend. Heartbroken and desperate for revenge, I cross paths with Edward Oxford. Edward is the last man I should get involved with, yet he is the only man who can help me get revenge on Elvis, both on and off the ice, while making my school journalism project a success. My offer is simple: “Be my boyfriend just for tonight. Three thousand dollars. No strings attached. Strictly business.” Edward agrees, but he has a counteroffer of his own: “Act as my fiancée in front of my parents to stop them from pressuring me to get married. Seven thousand dollars a month.” It is supposed to be a game. Until our first dinner with his high-society family turns our carefully negotiated deception into a nightmare. His parents announce our wedding date before either of us can escape, leaving us trapped in a marriage neither of us wants. So we make one final deal: We will get married, live separate lives, and remain free to bring other romantic partners into our matrimonial home. No love. No loyalty. No expectations. But just as our fake marriage begins to feel real, a dark secret threatens to destroy everything. A trail of evidence points to one terrifying possibility: the man I am falling for may be responsible for my twin brother's disappearance. Determined to pursue justice, I risk everything to bring Edward down, even if it means getting my own husband arrested. Along the line, Edward uncovers a secret that I have spent years keeping from him, and he is determined to make me pay too. And as the truth about my brother's disappearance begins to unfold, I must decide whether Edward, the man I vow to destroy, is truly my enemy or the only true love I will ever crave.
