Marrying for convenience was never on my list of life goals, but desperate times call for drastic measures. With my family's bookstore teetering on the edge of collapse and Asher Langston—a man who turns boardrooms into battlefields—offering a way out, I find myself agreeing to a union that's more business than bliss.
