Love and Luxury

Lila Harper has sworn off men after the ultimate betrayal—until a disastrous night out ends with her waking up married to Miles Hawthorne, the arrogant, infuriating heir to the Hawthorne media empire. He’s rich, entitled, unbearably smug…and apparently her new husband. Miles needs a wife to unlock his inheritance. Lila needs a distraction from the heartbreak that wrecked her life. So when he offers her a deal—stay married long enough to secure his future and walk away with a generous cut—she reluctantly agrees.

Their marriage was supposed to be temporary. Their feelings were supposed to be pretend. Nothing about this was supposed to get dangerous. Lila Harper is done pretending she fits into the glittering world of the Hawthorne fortune. After a sabotaged fall nearly ends her life, she’s ready to walk away from the mansion, the lies, and—most of all—her infuriatingly irresistible husband. But Miles Hawthorne isn’t ready to let her go. He needs a wife until the inheritance is secure. She needs distance from the chaos closing in on all sides.

She’ll make them fall in love—even if she has to drag them there. Miles Hawthorne may think he’s in control… but his mother knows better. When her son returns home from Vegas with a brand-new bride and a flimsy story, Sable Hawthorne recognizes trouble immediately—and opportunity. Lila is sweet, smart, and absolutely terrified. Miles is arrogant, oblivious, and entirely too sure of himself. Left alone, the pair would destroy their marriage in days. Luckily for them, Sable has other plans.
