About the book

Anna Green and Liam West share a legal marriage of convenience from their college days that neither ever bothered to dissolve. When Liam, the heir to a massive grocery empire, learns his grandfather left him a multi-million dollar inheritance contingent on being happily married, he tracks Anna down. He offers her a portion of the payout if she travels to his sister’s tropical wedding and pretends to be his devoted wife. Anna, a struggling artist, agrees to the ruse, leading to a high-stakes charade on a private island.

Readers who enjoy the fake-dating trope and forced proximity settings will find this story a quick, lighthearted experience. It appeals to those looking for a contrast between corporate austerity and bohemian eccentricity. After finishing, the reader walks away with a classic romantic resolution where social class divisions bridge through shared proximity and mutual deception. It serves as a study on how financial desperation and family expectations can force two strangers to rediscover one another under intense social pressure and artificial circumstances.
