When future duke Kingston Barclay finds himself in dire financial straits, heโs left with little choice but to seek a marriage of convenience. Nearly bankrupt, and with siblings to support, he must act fast and seeks out a notorious matchmaker and social club owner. His determination wavers when Kingston unexpectedly encounters Vanessa there. Despite her beauty, his immediate attraction, and the undeniable temptation to make her his, sheโs theย lastย person he should marry. Vanessa doesnโt know it, but Kingston caused her brotherโs untimely death.
Fiercely independent heiress Vanessa Becket has had her fill of men and their machinations. Fortune hunters and a scheming stepbrother have made her wary. However, with her reputation and well-being in jeopardy, she sees an irresistible opportunity when her path collides with Kingston Barclay, her brotherโs brooding, but devilishly handsome best friend. A temporary marriage would provide a beneficial solution for them bothย ifย Vanessa manages not to fall in love with the future duke, that is.
Though Kingston and Vanessa entered the union with reservations, with each passing day, their bond deepens. As secrets unfold and true feelings emerge, they must decide: is their marriage just one of convenience? Or could it be the road to their own happy ever after?
