As heir to HayesOil, his future seems guaranteed until his father’s will throws everything into chaos. To secure his inheritance and control of the family empire, Riley must do the unthinkable: marry for love and stay married for a year. Furious and desperate, Riley concocts a plan that will both satisfy the stipulation and humiliate his father’s oldest enemy.
