A Marriage Worth Faking

By Claire Vesper

Leena Desai has spent her career rescuing companies from powerful men with beautiful answers. Adrian Rathmore is the one man she will never trust again.

When a failing Manhattan luxury hotel puts hundreds of jobs and a family empire at risk, Adrian discovers a brutal deadline: marry by Saturday, remain married for ninety days, and he may qualify for a review of the trust votes that could keep the flagship from being sold. He needs a spouse. He needs Leena's turnaround plan even more.

Leena refuses his first, dangerously entangled offer. She will consider the second only with separate lawyers, independent authority, her own home and money, private bedrooms, and an exit Adrian cannot punish. Their civil marriage is real. The public romance is controlled. The attraction between them is neither.

As sealed walls expose a costlier crisis and an opposing relative advances a credible sale, Leena and Adrian must decide whether they can surrender control before their private omissions destroy the choices they claim to protect. Saving the Briarwell will require more than billionaire money or a staged kiss. Keeping their marriage will require the truth before either of them knows how to fix it.
