Depending on who you ask, Jeremy Phoenix is either the hero or villain in their story. Growing up privileged did not create an easy life for the named partner at Hunter, Phoenix, Genesis, and Prime. He’s gotten almost everything he’s ever wanted in life—except his father’s unconditional love and acceptance, and the position of managing partner at his prestigious law firm. All of that is set to change in a matter of months … if he can find a wife.

Driven, ambitious, and intelligent are three words often used to describe Maritza Amaretto. When she and her sister join Hunter, Phoenix, Genesis, and Prime, Maritza has only one goal, and that’s to advance her already stellar career. An unexpected kiss and request for her services as girlfriend for a day turn into an offer she can’t refuse—a year of her life as Jeremy’s fake wife in exchange for career advancement that both she and her sister deserve.

When the line between fake and real gets blurred, both Jeremy and Maritza find themselves battling their pasts for a chance at a future together and hoping the choices they make in their present won’t ruin their careers … and the careers of others.
