Ava Morgan never believed in fairy tales—especially not the kind where a billionaire sweeps a broke law student off her feet. Juggling two jobs, unpaid bills, and a sick father, Ava has no time for love or luxury. Liam Carter is one of America’s most ruthless CEOs. Handsome, cold, and fiercely private, he’s known for closing multimillion-dollar deals with zero emotion. But when his late grandfather’s will reveals a catch—he must marry before his 30th birthday to inherit Carter Enterprises—Liam faces a PR disaster. When Ava and Liam cross paths under unlikely circumstances, he makes her an offer she can’t afford to refuse: marry him for one year, act the part of his loving wife, and he’ll take care of everything—including her father’s treatment. But when the truth comes out, will their hearts survive a love that started as a lie?
