The Hamiltons

He’s my best friend’s brother. My billionaire boss. And now… my fake husband

I walked into his restaurant needing a paycheck.

Now I’m his fake wife.

And if I’m not careful, I might just fall for the man I hate.

James Hamilton is grumpy. Emotionally unavailable. Impossible to reach. He’s also my best friend’s brother. The man who broke my heart without even trying.

Now he’s a world-famous chef. Well known for his brilliance. Working for him is my chance at the career of my dreams. But when he calls me out in front of his entire staff, I decide to leave.

But James stops me with an offer I never saw coming. A marriage of convenience to secure the future of his culinary empire. In return, he will pay off my debts and help my family.

I should refuse. Instead, I say yes. His rules are simple. This is a contract. There will be no feelings. No expectations. No future. I agree to keep things strictly professional. But the longer I share his home and answer to the title of his wife, the harder it is to pretend this is just business. And when he lets me see the man behind the reputation, I start to wonder if this fake marriage is the most real thing I have ever known...
