About this audiobook
*My father's coffin weighed nothing. Twenty-two years old, and that's what I noticed most.*
At the reception Graham Hollister tells Logan Ashford that *the board voted this morning. I'm taking over as CEO,* and then explains why, in the voice of a man doing a kindness. *You've always been too soft for the hard decisions.*
*Fifteen years. That's how long it took to turn Ashford Properties into what my father had dreamed.* Fifteen years of sixteen-hour days and never letting anyone close enough to see the cracks.
Catherine Bennett is thirty-three, a freelance illustrator who co-owns a small design studio, and she inherited her building from her grandmother six years ago. Her brother Sawyer is on her taxes as a dependent, with a medical history attached. There is an eviction notice, a transferred mortgage, and a hospital statement with a past-due figure highlighted in red: forty-seven thousand dollars, due immediately.
Logan does not offer charity. He offers terms. *Your brother gets treatment. You keep your house. I keep my company. Everyone walks away in six months with what they need.*
The reason he needs a wife at all is in his father's will, which requires a genuine spouse and contains a clause about moral turpitude. *If the marriage is proved fraudulent, I lose everything.* And the man waiting to collect it is the same man who took the CEO chair at the funeral.
Cat reads the whole contract, including the page about the mortgage on Hawthorne Lane and the page about what happens in the event of a pregnancy. She signs anyway, because a brother in treatment beats a principle.
What neither of them is prepared for is the version of the story Graham is already building, the assistant he has already leaned on, and the email Cat is eventually shown with both men's names on it and one sentence that changes what she thinks she has agreed to.
A closed-door marriage of convenience romance set in Portland, with a contract read line by line, a forged document, an uncle who has been playing a long game, and two people who signed for entirely practical reasons and did not stay practical.
