She also thought she’d signed divorce papers when the graduation caps were tossed\, and they both went on their merry ways. \nThree years later\, Anna is a starving artist living paycheck to paycheck while West is a Stanford professor. He may be one of four heirs to the Weston Foods conglomerate\, but he has little interest in working for the heartless corporation his family built from the ground up. He is interested\, however\, in his one-hundred-million-dollar inheritance. There’s just one catch. \nDue to an antiquated clause in his grandfather’s will\, Liam won’t see a penny until he’s been happily married for five years. Just when Liam thinks he’s in the home stretch\, pressure mounts from his family to see this mysterious spouse\, and he has no choice but to turn to the one person he’s afraid to introduce to his one-percenter parents—his unpolished\, not-so-ex-wife. \nBut in the presence of his family\, Liam’s fears quickly shift from whether the feisty\, foul-mouthed\, paint-splattered Anna can play the part to whether the toxic world of wealth will corrupt someone as pure of heart as his surprisingly grounded and loyal wife. Liam will have to ask himself if the price tag on his flimsy cover story is worth losing true love that sprouted from a lie. \nAbout Christina Lauren\nChristina Lauren is the combined pen name of longtime writing partners and best friends Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings\, the New York Times\, USA TODAY\, and #1 internationally bestselling authors of the Beautiful and Wild Seasons series\, Dating You / Hating You\, Autoboyography\, Love and Other Words\, Roomies\, Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating\, My Favorite Half-Night Stand\, The Unhoneymooners\, Twice in a Blue Moon\, The Soulmate Equation\, Something Wilder\, and The True Love Experiment.
