After years at a soul-sucking office job, Whitney Rhodes is finally ready to chase her dream of opening her own salon. The only problem? she can't quite afford to be a dreamer right now. That is until she receives an unexpected call about an inheritance from a grandmother she never knew. Her home life is complicated, her love life on hiatus, but her dreams are finally within reach. The only catch? to secure the inheritance, she has to get married—and fast.

Liam Clark has officially hit rock bottom. Dropped out of school? Check. Working a dead-end job? Check. Moving in with a quirky, annoying, and worst of all, unnervingly attractive woman? Check. Mourning the recent loss of his best friend, he’s definitely not in the mood to get close to anyone, and his new roommate is no exception. But he soon realizes he can’t run away forever, and when he decides exactly how to give his life meaning, he also discovers he needs a truckload of cash to do it.

To solve both their problems, Whitney and Liam strike up a mutually beneficial, strictly business arrangement that happens to involve two rings and an altar.

Every marriage requires sacrifice, even a fake one, but with their pasts coming back to haunt them and their futures on standby, something is smoldering under the surface—and they’re not sure if it’s love or hate.

After all, ‘till death do us part’ is only temporary.
