Hopeless romantic and free-spirit Ashley Thompson always knew what she wanted in life…to be a wife. In her youth, she dressed up as a bride eight times for Halloween. Despite donning a white dress and veil costume over a half dozen years, Ashley never cared about having a wedding; she just wanted a husband, a partner, a ride-or-die, her soulmate, and her person. So when her six-year-old niece suggested she go on a reality show looking for singles in her area to walk down the aisle and marry a stranger selected by a matchmaker, she jumped at the chance to enlist professionals in her search for Mr. Right.

After a failed twelve-year relationship and multiple situationships that fizzled out before they ever started, she clearly wasnt getting anywhere the old-fashioned way. Why not try an unconventional route?

But would she feel the same way about a marriage of convenience to a sexy billionaire who checked every box except one…love?

Acting CEO of Wolfe Enterprises, Declan Wolfe, was named GQ’s sexiest billionaire under 40 whether he wanted the title or nothe did not. The mysterious, enigmatic thirty-six-year-old had a reputation for being in control in the bedroom and out of it. Declan’s life was one of structure, discipline, and routine. He lived in a world that was black and white—no gray areas. His childhood was filled with tragedy and loss. First, he lost his mother at age six to cancer and then his father at eight in a car accident. His grandparents placed him in boarding schools where he was bred to take the reins of his family business, which is exactly what he’d done after his grandfather’s passing. His sole purpose in life became responsibility and duty.

After discovering he must be married to retain control of the family business, he knew the one requirement he didnt need for marriage was love. He learned at an early age the harsh lesson that love was a four-letter word used to cover all manner of sin.

But what would he do when the only woman he wanted to marry—even for convenience—believed the only reason to be married waslove?
