Natalia Kravchenko sells a future to save her mother: a marriage of convenience to 66-year-old billionaire Alexander Prescott. In glittering receptions and courtroom corridors she learns the hard currency of power, the cost of reinvention, and how love can arrive as an inconvenient truth. Torn between agency and dependence, fame and the fear of being reduced to a rumor, Natalia fights to build a life she can claim on her own terms.
A fierce, transportive contemporary romance about survival, scandal, and the quiet bravery of choosing love every day.
For readers of Jojo Moyes and Kristin Hannah — hear the applause now. Will she keep what she bought, or lose herself in the bargain?
