I needed a wife on paper. What I got is so much more.

As a billionaire venture capitalist and part-owner of Sterling Capital, I don't leave things to chance. Every deal is calculated. Every move serves a purpose. That is, until the board starts questioning my image. They want someone settled down—someone who’s stable and committed. So, I treat the situation the same way I treat everything else: as a business transaction.

It should be simple, no feelings, no complications, and no exceptions.

Until I meet her.

Cory Pierson is everything I never knew I wanted: fiercely independent, unimpressed by money, and challenges me at every turn.

Our marriage is meant to be temporary, but the longer she wears my ring, the more the lines blur. She’s no longer just my wife on paper. She’s the woman I can’t let go.

Blurring the lines

I make the rules. I just never expected her to make me break every last one of them.

As a man who built an empire on absolute control, I don't negotiate, and I sure as hell don't do feelings. My arrangements are always clear: no promises, no forever.

Then came Rory. She doesn’t just capture my attention—she consumes it.

I thought I owned the game.
I thought I owned us.

Until Rory did the unthinkable and walked away.

I gave her space, but when news reaches me that she's been offered a job on the other side of the country, the illusion of letting her go burns to the ground. Packing up and moving thousands of miles away from me? Not on my watch.

As I close the distance between us, I find out she isn't just running from us—she’s hiding a secret. She’s about to learn that I’m not letting her go, and nothing will stop me from going after what’s mine.
