He needs a wife to save his empire. She needs his deal to save her company. Neither of them plans to fall in love.
Aria Bennett has spent years building Bennett Atelier into one of Manhattan's most respected luxury branding agencies. She refuses to depend on anyone-especially Luca Hastings, the arrogant corporate strategist who has challenged her at every turn.
But when Luca acquires both her most important client and the debt threatening her company, he arrives with an outrageous proposal.
Marry him for six months.
Luca's late grandmother left him thirty-one percent of the family empire-with one condition: he must marry before his thirty-third birthday and remain married for one hundred and eighty days. Otherwise, control passes to the ruthless cousin determined to dismantle everything Luca has fought to protect.
Aria agrees only after rewriting the arrangement on her own terms: separate bedrooms, protected business interests, limited public appearances, and absolutely no real feelings.
The contract should make everything simple.
Instead, boardroom battles become intimate dinners, staged affection begins to feel dangerously genuine, and the rival Aria has spent years resisting becomes the only man who truly understands her ambition. But as family secrets surface and an old betrayal threatens both of their companies, Luca must prove that love is not another acquisition-and Aria must decide whether trusting him will save her future or cost her everything.
Married to My Rival is an emotionally intense contemporary enemies-to-lovers romance featuring a marriage of convenience, business rivals, forced proximity, slow-burn chemistry, family secrets, and a satisfying happily-ever-after.
