He married her for an inheritance.
He never planned to love her.
Graham Cortese has built a career on walking away.
From failing companies.
From broken relationships.
From anywhere that might begin to feel like home.
When his grandmother's will leaves him the family's struggling vineyard with one impossible condition, Graham has no choice but to marry Sofia Rossi, the brilliant winemaker whose family has spent generations creating the estate's award-winning wines.
The arrangement is simple.
One year.
Separate bedrooms.
Separate lives.
A quiet annulment when the inheritance is secure.
Neither of them expects shared dinners to become late-night conversations.
Or harvest season to become stolen embraces beneath the stars.
Or a marriage built on obligation to become the only place either of them has ever truly belonged.
But loving someone means giving up the one thing Graham has protected his entire life.
His exit.
Now he must decide whether the greatest risk he's ever taken... is finally choosing to stay.
The Wife I Never Planned to Love is an emotional contemporary romance filled with slow-burning desire, marriage of convenience, forbidden longing, explicit heat, and a deeply satisfying happily ever after.
