Jared Byrne is Manhattan’s favorite political bad boy—brooding billionaire, future congressional candidate, and my brother’s ex-best friend.
He’s also the man who destroyed my career.
Now I’ve been enlisted by Match Maven to sculpt his public image and vet his parade of “perfect” matches, pretending the past never happened.
Except every time we’re alone in a glass-walled office, old wounds and off-the-charts chemistry threaten to burn us both. I can’t decide if I want to scream at him or kiss him.
Then a custody crisis and vicious political leak land us in a the only way out is a marriage contract that ties our futures together—for show, for safety, for my son.
What starts as a calculated arrangement for the cameras quickly becomes something far more dangerous. Because living with Jared means seeing the man beneath the headlines—the protective billionaire willing to burn down the world for us.
But politics thrives on scandal.
And if the truth about our past ever comes out, I could lose my son, my career… and the only man I’ve ever truly loved.
