Love, Under Contract

Dru Martin
Being a Martin means power, money, and a name that opens doors. I've been groomed to take over the family empire since I could walk. But my mama? She's not about to hand over the keys unless I have a wife by my side. And love? That's not on my radar. I don't do messy. I don't do complicated. But Charisse? She's everything I wasn't looking for and exactly what I need. She's smart, beautiful, and broke enough to say yes when I offer a marriage contract in the back of my mother's fancy boutique. This is supposed to be business. Strictly business. But every time she looks at me like I'm more than a paycheck, it gets harder to remember that.
Charisse Turner
I've got degrees on the wall and bills stacked up higher than my ambitions. Teaching pays the rent, barely. So when Dru Martin-fine as hell and rich enough to make my student loans vanish-drops a marriage proposal on me instead of a job offer, I have to think about it. A fake marriage with real money? It's tempting. But every time he calls me "wife," I start to wonder-what if this fake thing is exactly what we both need for real?
