West and Eden's age gap, marriage of convenience story

I spend the night in jail for a protest and wake up married to my brother's best friend.

West Abbott is everything I stand against. Older, richer, and morally murky. And he's also completely annoying. Not to mention unfairly attractive.

So when I wake up with his ring on my finger, I make a simple plan. Annul the marriage and never, ever speak of it again.

Except West needs a wife to smooth out his next business deal, and our accidental Vegas wedding suddenly makes perfect sense on paper. To him, at least.

He thinks a fake marriage will be easy. He's used to control, confidence, and getting his own way.

What he didn't account for is me. His best friend's stubborn little sister. A woman who refuses to follow his rules or believe his way is the right one.

Now we're sharing a house, dodging my nosy family, and pretending the chemistry between us doesn't sizzle every time we're alone.

It does. And it burns.

I was only supposed to play wife long enough to keep his deal intact. I never meant to fall for the man who stands on the opposite side of everything I believe in.

But loving West Abbott doesn't just risk my heart.

It risks my family. And there may be no way to choose him without losing them.
