She spent her entire life preparing to inherit an empire. Her father left her one final condition.
Maxine Vale is brilliant, ruthless, and fiercely independent. She sacrificed nearly everything for one goal: taking control of Vale Industries.
Then her father dies, and his will delivers an ultimatum...if Maxine wants the company, she must be married and raising a child within one year.
Cornered, Maxine makes one reckless claim.
She's already in love.
With her assistant, Reese.
Reese is a single mother with no intention of becoming part of Maxine's carefully controlled world. But one lie becomes a proposal, a marriage, and a life neither woman expected.
The plan is simple: get married, convince everyone, secure the company, and walk away.
Except pretending to be someone's wife is easy.
Pretending you don't want to be might be the problem.
