The last thing Seth ever expected was to be involved in a marriage of convenience. After all, heâs not some trembling Victorian heroine. Heâs just a guy who loves to surf and spend his days in search of simple pleasures. Life hasnât always been easy for Seth, but he prefers to focus on the future and forget his dark past. But when he spends the night with sexy millionaire Tanner Trenton, their connection is powerful. When the sexy bachelor explains a secret dilemma he has, Seth canât help but feel empathy.
When Tanner picked Seth up for the night, he didnât intend on proposing. But heâs oddly drawn to Sethâs quiet energy and, most importantly, heâs got a deadline to meet; if he doesnât get married by the time he turns thirty, heâs out of his inheritance. Unfortunately, heâs already twenty-nine and still not ready to get hitched. Seth doesnât want to be tied down any more than Tanner does, so he seems like the perfect person for the job. They can marry but still maintain their independence. Their marriage should be the perfect solution, and it should be smooth sailing, right?
Unfortunately for the new couple, when Tannerâs father is murdered on the day of their wedding, things become exponentially complicated. Itâs hard for Tanner to imagine that his quiet, serene new husband could possibly be connected to his dadâs death. But the more he gets to know Seth, the more he realizes heâs maybe not the innocent, fun loving guy he assumed he was.
