Isla

She needs one thing from Caleb Ashford: a signature. Her family's bakery is three weeks from foreclosure, and the man holding the paper is the coldest CEO on the East Coast. So when she finds out he needs something too — a wife, fast, or he loses his company to the uncle who's spent a decade trying to destroy him — she offers him a trade. Ring, vows, ninety days. No feelings. No touching. No exceptions.

She did not plan on liking the way he says her name like it costs him something.

Caleb

He doesn't do soft. Doesn't do warm, doesn't do the particular brand of stubborn sunshine that walks into his office in a flour-dusted apron and negotiates like she has nothing to lose. He needs a wife on paper only, someone who won't ask questions about the board seat his uncle is trying to steal, or the version of himself he buried the year everything fell apart.

He was not supposed to start finding reasons to come home early.

As the wedding becomes a marriage, and the marriage becomes something neither of them can name, the line between the deal and the truth gets harder to find. His uncle isn't finished — and he's done playing fair. Every step closer Caleb gets to Isla is a weapon his uncle can use against them both, and the closer she gets to the truth of what he's hiding, the more she has to decide if she can survive loving a man built to destroy anyone who gets close.

Ninety days was supposed to protect them both. It might be the thing that ruins them.
