Is he her ticket to freedom ...or heartbreak?

Peyton Cross's IT job barely pays enough to cover her student loans, the rent on her tiny NYC apartment, and the money she puts toward her father's medical bills. She hopes her hard work will get her a promotion — but the last kind of attention she expects is a dinner date with her sinfully sexy boss.

She's even more shocked when he offers her a temporary marriage contract. The money involved would take care of her problems and then some...but if she agrees, she can't let on how attracted she is to him. She'll get her heart broken if she doesn't treat this like a business transaction.

Thane Wainwright started with nothing and earned his money. He works hard and gets what he wants...and he's wanted Peyton since the moment he laid eyes on her. But his aspirations—for himself and for her—go far beyond the business world.
