Emery, owner of local L.A bookstore, Lit Happens, life's falling apart. By falling apart we mean, she's newly single, her family business is on the verge of closure, her landlord is doubling her rent, and a lawsuit has recently been filed against her. She's a mess to put it plainly. A new bookstore has opened across the street (think barnes and noble) and she is going to have to let her employees go, she's having the worst day.

Enter Callum McCord, uber hot, ultra rich, and arrogant. He walks into Emery's bookstore and basically tells her, we are going to get married and I will give you 10 million dollars. She's having none of it, he is refusing to take no for an answer, so here starts the back and forth. There is lots of sexual tension, quick dirty talk, and the occasional cuss out. Eventually Emery gives in and they get married, to her it's for the money, for him its so much more. As readers we don't know what that means and neither does Emery, but she's going to find out quick that not everything is as it seems. Lies start being unraveled and their relationship is put to the test is the biggest way possible.
