Chloé Rossi has nothing. No family. No money. No future. When she answers an ad for a caregiver position on the ultra-wealthy island nation of Solmara, she thinks it's her last chance at survival. What she doesn't expect is the proposal that comes with the job: Marry me. Adrian Castellano is sixty years old, a self-made billionaire, and dying. In Solmara, if you die without a spouse or children, your fortune goes to the government-all 8 billion Solars of it. He doesn't want a legacy. He doesn't want love. He just wants to choose where his money goes. The deal is simple: marry him, care for him in his final months, and when he's gone, everything is hers. It's a business transaction. Nothing more. But the Marriage Verification Bureau doesn't believe in convenient deathbed weddings. They'll investigate. They'll interview neighbours. They'll show up unannounced. And if they find even a hint of fraud, Chloé loses everything-and could face criminal charges. So they have to pretend. Hold hands at dinner. Share stories over morning coffee. Learn each other's habits, fears, and dreams. They have to make the world believe they're in love. The problem? Somewhere between the sunset walks and the 3am conversations, between his rare smiles and her stubborn hope, the pretending stops feeling like pretending. And just when Chloé realizes she's fallen for the man behind the fortune-just when Adrian admits he's found something worth living for-time runs out. 💔 A heart-wrenching tale of unexpected love, impossible choices, and learning that sometimes the greatest fortune isn't measured in money. ✨ Set in the fictional Mediterranean nation of Solmara-where billionaires hide their fortunes, marriage fraud investigators lurk around every corner, and love blooms in the most unexpected of places.
