Anna Green believed she was tying the knot with Liam “West” Weston for the benefit of subsidized family housing at UCLA. She also assumed she’d signed divorce papers when the graduation caps flew, and they both embarked on their separate journeys.
Fast forward three years, Anna is a struggling artist living from paycheck to paycheck, while West is a professor at Stanford. He might be one of four heirs to the Weston Foods empire, but he has little desire to work for the soulless corporation his family established. However, he is interested in his hundred-million-dollar inheritance. There’s just one obstacle.
Due to an outdated clause in his grandfather’s will, Liam won’t receive a dime until he’s been blissfully married for five years. Just when Liam thinks he’s nearing the finish line, pressure builds from his family to meet this enigmatic spouse, and he has no option but to turn to the one person he’s hesitant to introduce to his affluent parents—his unrefined, not-quite-ex-wife.
But in the company of his family, Liam’s worries quickly shift from whether the spirited, outspoken, paint-covered Anna can fit the role to whether the poisonous world of wealth will taint someone as innocent-hearted as his surprisingly down-to-earth and faithful wife. Liam will have to question if the cost of his weak cover story is worth losing the genuine love that blossomed from a falsehood.
