Simisola Richards has it all-brains, beauty, and a successful career in corporate law. Burned by love one too many times, she's sworn off men for good. So when the promotion she's worked her whole career for suddenly hinges on being married, she's forced to reconsider her strict no-men rule. Folarin Balogun is a notorious ladies' man and successful cofounder of a leading fintech company. Marriage is the farthest thing from his mind until he learns his best friend's little sister is on the hunt for a fake husband. He's always had a burning attraction to Simi, but kept his distance because of bro code. Now he gets a free pass to break the rules, hiding his true motives behind the noble excuse of stepping up to help. For Simisola, the arrangement is strictly business, and a divorce is the end goal the moment she lands her promotion. But as their fake romance turns into genuine passion, Simisola finds herself breaking her own golden rule. She came into this marriage to save her career, but staying in it might mean losing the one thing she promised never to risk again-her heart. P.
