Book Blurb:
He needed a wife on paper, she needed a way to pay for school. Neither bargained for the danger their marriage-of-convenience brought on.
CEO Jack Sutton isn’t about to be backed into a corner by the stipulations of his mother’s will. She might have wanted to be sure he was married by the time he was thirty, but that doesn’t mean he needs to give in. As the head of a powerful venture capital firm, there’s one thing he’s learned. There’s always a way around anything standing in his way. This marriage clause is no exception.
Kelly Bradley got into the law school of her dreams, but the financial aid she was counting on didn’t come through. When she finds out Jack Sutton is looking for a wife in name only, she propositions him to get the funding she needs. What could be the harm in linking herself to a well-respected businessman for a year? It’s not like he’s hard to look at or tough to be around.
But will her fix end up costing a whole lot more than either she or Jack had bargained for? When her life is on the line, Jack finds himself racing to save the woman he’s fast losing his heart to.
Steamy romance meets heart-stopping suspense in the Sutton Billionaires Series. This is the first book in the series but it can be read as a standalone story with no cliffhangers. A shorter version of this book was previously released as part of the Sutton Capital Series.

Review:
This is my first time reading this author and I was pretty impressed.
A slightly different take on the marriage for convenience story. I like how take charge Kelly was when it came to her career, but slightly insecure when it came to her personal interactions with Jack.
I had expected Jack’s character to be more aloof and demanding and was pleasantly surprised at how loving and caring he was towards Kelly from the beginning.
The story took a little bit of an edgier turn towards the end that seemed a little out of context for the way the storyline was going. Throwing in the international sex trafficking just seemed out of the blue. I was waiting for the showdown between Jack, Kelly, Chad, and Aunt Mabry, so was a little disappointed that never happened.
Otherwise, this was a good, quick read.
Favorite Scene: Chapter 26
The restaurant scene with Jack, Kelly, and Caroline made me laugh out loud.
