An arranged marriage ... a false identity ... a fake pregnancy-all for the love of money-or justice?

When seventeen-year-old Harley Jane Reynolds runs away from her group home and gets a job in a bar, she's not expecting to meet William Prelioux, the son of the wealthiest family in the Southeast and the sole heir to his family's estate. She's a tough-minded, no-nonsense woman with business savvy and grit and is trying to make a future for herself. But when William proposes a plan to get Harley Jane financial independence, she says yes. She agrees to become his wife and take on a new identity as Mrs. Amelia Prelioux.

The couple has one goal: to win over the elite of Prosperity Island so they can inherit William's fortune and their freedom. One problem: William's ex-girlfriend isn't ready to let him go.
