Synopsis

Darcy Kerr restores rare books and keeps her family’s failing bindery alive. Her mother pays the debt by selling Darcy as a bride to a collector. Darcy refuses in front of everyone, even when it costs her home. Lachlan Crowe is a billionaire with a family-chosen fiancée and a one-night history he cannot forget. When Darcy appears at his engagement gala, he publicly claims her as his. Now Darcy is playing Lachlan’s fake bride in his penthouse. The pregnancy is a lie. The ring is a deal. His protection feels too much like ownership. His fiancée Seraphine is smiling, and she knows exactly where to hurt them. Can Darcy stay free when the whole world thinks she belongs to him?
