I didnโt think the whole โwhat happens in Vegas stays in Vegasโ thing was trueโฆ until I found out my memory and my marriage license had been there for the past fifteen years.DALTONMy family is old money and my life has been mapped out since before I was born. Become a lawyer, buy a house, get married, carry on the family nameโall of that good stuff that comes with this kind of upbringing. I have the job and the house, but instead of the marriage, Iโm happy playing the field with a close-knit group of friends. Finding out that Iโve been secretly married for half my adult life was a plot twist I didnโt see coming.Carter Emerson Royce IV is everything I used to want to be. I havenโt seen him since college, and now heโs asking me to come to New York and pretend weโre the perfect picture of domestic bliss. Considering the history between us, itโs the least I can do.***Iโm one divorce away from the life of my dreams, and Iโm not going to ruin that by doing something stupid like falling in love with my husband.IVEYAll I need to do is to win over the co-op board for the most upscale building in New York so I can secure keys to the penthouse Iโve wanted for years. It should be easy, but when they ask about my marital status and produce a marriage license from Vegas, my plans are thrown out the window. Iโve spent fifteen years trying to not think about Dalton Fox, but weโre about to get up close and personal again whether we like it or not.The plan is simpleโpretend weโre really married and in love long enough for my application to get approved, Dalton goes back to LA a single man, and I go on with the rest of my life. Except it doesnโt take long for us to learn thereโs more between us than history. Dalton and I are compatible in more ways than one, and the spark between us is very bright and very real.His life is in California and mine is in New York. Being legally bound doesnโt mean anything, but the way Dalton makes me feel has to count for something. He doesnโt just see the darkest parts of me, he mirrors them, he touches them, heโฆloves them. Soon it becomes clear, the penthouse isnโt the only thing at stake. The rest of our livesโand the future of our marriageโare too.
