Summary
Pressured to marry or lose her father’s financial support—money she desperately needs to cover her mother’s medical bills—Joanna Baker, the illegitimate daughter of the Baker family, is crushed when her boyfriend abandons her at the altar and chooses another woman instead.
Reeling from betrayal, Joanna later witnesses a man in a wheelchair proposing to his girlfriend at a restaurant. When the woman publicly rejects him and cruelly mocks his disability, the scene leaves everyone stunned.
Drawn together by shared humiliation and heartbreak, Joanna makes a bold, reckless offer.
“Excuse me, sir. Your girlfriend just dumped you, and my boyfriend chose someone else over me. Let’s get married for six months—and get revenge on them both.”
But what will Joanna do when she discovers the man she proposed to is none other than Alexander King—the heir to the wealthiest family in New York City, the cold and untouchable CEO of King Multinational?
Worse still, he hides another identity: Salvatore Black, a name powerful enough to make even presidents tremble.
Has Joanna just entered a marriage of convenience—or signed a deal with the devil?
