The King’s Bought Bride by Jennifer Lewis

A convenient bride…
Royal heir Darias Leone needs a wife to claim his crown. He doesn’t want to get stuck with the kind of snooty princess his family has in mind, so he makes a cool-headed business arrangement with the assistant at his New York art gallery.

Emma Ricci thinks the idea is crazy, but the money Darias is offering will allow her to put her brother through drug rehab. Surely she can survive one year as a fake royal wife to save what’s left of her family?

After one year Emma and Darias can divorce and go their separate ways. But they didn’t count on a sizzling attraction…and with two unsolved murders, the interference of a mysterious secret society, and the constant forced proximity of a marriage under the eyes of the entire palace even the best-laid plans can go off course.
