Maya Hawthorne thought the worst moment of her life was walking in on her fiancé sleeping with her step-sister.
Turns out, that was only the beginning.
When Maya calls off the wedding, her father reveals the real trap that she can only access her late mother’s inheritance if she gets married. And canceling the wedding with Ethan could destroy her father’s already failing company.
But Maya finds a loophole — the contract never said she had to marry Ethan specifically.
In a moment of reckless desperation, Maya walks onto a construction site and proposes marriage to the first man who looks responsible enough to play along until she secures her inheritance.
Much to her surprise, he agrees.
However, what Maya doesn’t know is that the man she just married isn’t a random construction worker at all.
He’s Liam Weston — the reclusive CEO of Weston Development Group, the largest construction and real estate empire in New York and beyond, a man who has always kept his personal life out of the public eye.
And her fake marriage might turn out to be far more dangerous — and far more real — than either of them ever expected.
