Matty needed a husband. Novo needed revenge. Neither expected to catch real feelings. Novo Jeremiah Sousa might not have a one-percenter badge on his cut, but he knows how to work the system—especially when it’s dirty. For five long years, he’s hunted the man who destroyed his family, watching from the shadows as billionaire Harold Coombes lived a gilded life built on betrayal and blood. But Novo’s patience pays off the day he discovers a Coombes’s pampered, pretty-boy godson, Matthew. Matty’s no stranger to wealth, but his world is crumbling fast. He doesn't even care about the money anymore, he just wants to stop his merciless uncle getting his cruel hands on it. But the only thing standing between Matty and financial ruin is a bizarre clause in his parents' marry by twenty-eight, stay married for two years… or lose everything. With his twenty-eighth birthday looming, Matty is desperate enough to sign a contract with a complete stranger. But not just any stranger. A Daddy. Because if Matty’s going to do this, he’s doing it his way—finally giving in to the aching, hidden need he’s never dared to name out loud. Two million dollars. Two years. One arranged marriage between a former spoiled rich kid aching to be protected and a battle-hardened enforcer with a score to settle. What could possibly go wrong? Only everything… Especially when Novo starts to care. Especially when Matty starts to trust. And especially when the man who destroyed Novo’s family finds out what they’re up to— and decides to destroy them both.
