The Price of Her Yes

By Jennifer Eve

He bid for her family's company. She countered with a marriage. Neither expected the contract to become the easiest part.

When Pierce Holdings files a hostile takeover bid against Ashford Maritime Group, Wren Ashford has thirty days to save the century-old hotel empire her grandfather built, and the twelve hundred jobs that depend on it. She has a brilliant mind, a renovation pipeline running on overtime, and exactly zero legal leverage.

What she doesn't have is a plan.

Until Diane Calloway, the company's most powerful shareholder, makes a proposal that sounds insane until it suddenly isn't: the only merger the industry will never frame as a slaughter is the kind that comes with a wedding.

Donovan Pierce built his reputation on acquiring companies the way other men acquire habits - methodically, without sentiment, and always on his own terms. He doesn't do partnerships. He definitely doesn't do marriages of convenience with women who look at him like something to be managed rather than impressed.

He makes an exception.

The contract is clean. Eighteen months. Separate lives. A prenuptial agreement tight enough to survive any court. An exit clause both of them intend to use.

But somewhere between the legal pads full of bathroom schedules and the night she finds him at her lighthouse cottage, telling her the most honest thing he's said to anyone in fifteen years, the contract stops being the most complicated part of the arrangement.

The most complicated part is what they're both pretending isn't happening.

The Price of Her Yes is a slow-burn billionaire romance full of sharp dialogue, real emotional stakes, and a love story that earns every moment of its happily ever after. Perfect for readers who love marriage of convenience, business rivals, and heroes who fall first but hide it badly.
