Mara Ellis has spent years holding her family together while fighting to save Ellis Table, the struggling restaurant her late father left behind. With the bank threatening foreclosure and every conventional option exhausted, an unexpected offer could solve everything.
For thirty days, Mara must pose as the wife of billionaire hotel executive Julian White.
No romance. No intimacy. No legal marriage.
Only carefully staged appearances in exchange for enough money to protect her family’s legacy.
Julian does not believe in love, but he trusts contracts completely. A temporary marriage will reassure investors, secure a vital international acquisition, and protect the company his grandfather built.
The arrangement should be simple.
Until Mara discovers the wedding was legally registered.
Someone has deliberately trapped them inside a binding marriage, and separating could cost Julian his company while destroying Mara’s family. Forced to remain together for ninety days, they must share a penthouse, face a hostile board, survive vicious headlines, and uncover the person manipulating them from inside the White family.
But the closer Mara and Julian move towards the truth, the harder it becomes to distinguish performance from desire.
Every public touch begins to feel real.
Every argument exposes another hidden wound.
And when betrayal reaches Mara’s family, Julian must decide whether he can trust the woman who has changed everything, while Mara must confront the painful difference between being needed and being freely chosen.
Because their marriage may have begun with forged documents and dangerous secrets, but the love growing between them could become the one thing neither of them is willing to surrender.
Accidentally Mrs. White is an emotionally intense billionaire romance filled with mistaken marriage, forced proximity, corporate intrigue, family betrayal, sizzling chemistry, hard-earned trust, and a powerful happily-ever-after.
