Mine Unexpectedly (eBook)

Clara Vale walks into the Manhattan marriage bureau with her future planned down to the minute, and walks out with a husband she has never met. The one-year marriage is a business arrangement with rules, signatures, and an end date circled in red. It is supposed to protect her name, her work, and everything her family still hopes to take from her.

The man in the black overcoat is nothing like the safe stranger she expected. He is wealthy, controlled, and far too interested in the details of her life. Every clause of their agreement says this is temporary. Every look across the license window says something else entirely, and Clara cannot decide which one frightens her more.

Inside, you will discover:
. a marriage signed at the license window.
. the stranger who knows too much about Clara.
. terms written to keep feelings out.
. a family watching for her first mistake.
. wealth that comes with its own dangers.
. attraction neither of them agreed to.
. the first crack in a one-year plan.

As the months begin, the arrangement starts costing more than either of them budgeted for. Clara has built her life on being the sensible one, the woman who never loses control in public. Her secret husband is very good at control, until she is the one thing he cannot manage.

Clara knows the world she is marrying into: foundation galas, board dinners, and relatives who measure love in leverage. The arrangement promises her a year of protection from all of it, in exchange for playing the devoted wife beside a man whose fortune could buy the building they are standing in. What the paperwork never mentions is the household she is moving into, the staff who report everything, and the way her husband looks at her when he thinks the performance is over. A year is a very long time to pretend.

This is the first book in the Mine Unexpectedly series, a billionaire romance about a marriage built on paper and tested by everything paper cannot hold. Begin Clara's story here and follow the arrangement as it turns into the one thing neither of them planned.
