"Of course, I promise. She's my wife." One truth. One lie. And the beginning of his downfall. She never meant to become his scandal. He never meant to make her his wife. When a leaked video threatens both his family and reputation, Kyle Ingram does what any ruthless billionaire would - he fixes the problem with a contract. Three years. Ten million dollars. And Francesca, his ex-best friend, as his bride. The contract arrangement was supposed to be simple. There's just one problem- Francesca isn't the liar he thinks she is. And Kyle isn't as easy to read as she once believed. As their marriage turns messier, hotter, and far more real than either of them planned, someone begins targeting the Ingram family from the shadows. In the Ingram world, weakness is an invitation. And Kyle's greatest weakness might just be the wife who refuses to be his. THE MENDED HEARTS SERIES Book 1: The Unseen Bride (Keith & Ella) Book 2: The Indebted CEO (Marcus & Celeste) Book 3: The Ingram Arrangement (Kyle & Francesca) Each book is a complete standalone with guaranteed HEA.
