SYNOPSIS
I was expecting a ring on my thirtieth birthday. What I didnβt see coming was my boyfriend and business partner dumping me because he couldnβt bear the idea of our bland sex life for the rest of our lives.
When an opportunity arises to spend my summer in Las Vegas, I stumble upon my hot new neighbor and his photography studio. We strike a simple deal. Heβs the teacher, and Iβm his student. My lesson is learning to love the body I have. In exchange, Iβm going to save his business. I have exactly one summer to unearth the most confident version of myself before I go home and return to reality.
But after a passion-fueled summer, Iβm not sure of who I am anymore, and itβs clear that the worst heartbreak of my life might still be yet to come.
Be loud. Lean in. Take your seat at the head of the table. I want the whole room to know that when my wife speaks, itβs time to sit down and listen.

SYNOPSIS
Thanks to my reckless roommate, Iβm about two skips away from being homeless. Temp jobs arenβt paying the bills, and now I have to cancel the scuba diving trip I can no longer afford.
At least Iβll be spared from my instructorβs tempting smile and rock-hard abs. Dex is wonderful, but heβs only ever treated me like a friendβ¦ a really good friend. In fact, when he hears Iβm having money problems, he comes up with a way we can help each other.
In a clever scheme to ensure her jaded, love-doubting grandson didnβt end up alone, Dexβs grandma left her company to Dexβsβ¦ wife. Except he isnβt married. Until me, that is.
Now Iβm suddenly the CEO and majority shareholder of a billion-dollar cruise corporation. Iβm unprepared, and the sharks in the boardroom are scarier than the great whites in the water. But the plan is simple. Play the part for a year, hand the company back over to Dex, then get divorced. Easy. In exchange, Iβll never have to worry about money again.
But itβs not long before I realize the company is in danger and a lot of people need my help. And now that Iβm acting like the boss, thereβs a look in Dexβs eyes Iβve never seen before. Something more than friendlyβ¦ Because when he calls me βwifeβ lately, it doesnβt seem like itβs for show.
