The Accidental Marriage: A Grumpy Billionaire Romance (The Huxleys)

Billionaire lawyer Ares Huxley, who was kidnapped by his mother at age ten and left to die in a fire, trusts no one. He needs a wife to secure a critical promotion at his law firm. After waking from a friend's bachelor party, he discovers he has married an eccentric blonde woman he doesn't remember meeting. Ares plans to annul the marriage immediately, but learns his new wife needs a husband to receive her inheritance. Though they have nothing in common, they agree to a six-month arrangement: she will be his ideal wife, they will share a bed nightly, and neither will develop real feelings. Living together proves different than expected. His wife is feisty both in and out of bed, his family adores her, and when Ares learns her own family treats her poorly, he wants to protect her. He finds himself increasingly drawn to her and develops genuine feelings. However, his wife continues to follow their fake marriage rules strictly. Ares realizes the one thing she wants from him—her freedom—is now the one thing he cannot give her.
