He’ll dig her out of debt… if she submits to his terms.
Kat Wilder is struggling. She waits tables to support her little sister, but the money never goes far enough. She needs help, fast, or she’s going to lose their home.
Enter Blake Sterling. The tech billionaire offers Kat a lifeline. A million dollars for her hand in marriage. A million dollars to don designer dresses, smile at paparazzi, stare into his eyes like she’s madly in love. As long as she keeps up the ruse, she secures her family’s future.

She can play his wife. But can she fall into his bed without falling in love with him?
After the death of her parents Kat put her dreams of college on the backburner and works as a waitress to support her sister but making ends meet is getting more difficult.
Blake has made his billions in the tech field but money can’t buy the one thing he does want. He will do anything for those he loves and even though he doesn’t believe in love and happy ever after a temporary marriage could be just the answer he needs.
Kat and Blake meet by chance but the arrangement solves both their problems. What could possibly go wrong?
This is an emotional story as both Kat and Blake have painful pasts but in each other they find what they have always been looking for.
This has to be my absolute favorite by this author. The emotional heartache that I felt while reading this book was indescribable. The emotional baggage that Kat and Blake have is monumental. I fell in love with Blake, I just wanted to hold him. Kat is the strongest young woman and I was championing for her to get his love the entire book. I wish I could better describe how wonderful this book is. It’s hot too!

I love Crystal Kaswell books and this one is no exception.
I’ve read quite a few of these “billionaire saves the virgin” books but this had me reading the whole story rather than skipping through.
I loved the details in the story, it really made you feel like you were apart of it all which is great way to really immerse yourself in a story.
Kat is really struggling since the death of her parents. She’s trying to keep up with bills while raising her sister. She has put her hopes and dreams on hold to be able to put her sister through school.
Her luck changes when she quite literally runs in to Blake, the handsome brooding billionaire.
He makes her an offer too good to be true. Money she could only dream of, debts paid in full and a full ride through college for her sister. The catch, she has to marry and stay with Blake for a minimum of six months.
He won’t tell her why he needs this and makes it clear he is incapable of love.
Kat agrees to the deal thinking its only six months and she can walk away with a better life. But things never work out as planned and she falls in love with Blake.
When Kat finally discovers why Blake needs this marriage, she is understanding but feels everything is moving too fast.
With the wedding looming closer Kat struggles with her decision and eventually calls off the whole deal knowing she can’t go through with it with the strong feelings she has and that Blake will never love her back.
Blake and Kat are drawn back together after the tragic loss but he still won’t admit his feelings and Kat leaves again.
Will Blake finally admit his feelings before he loses Kat for good?

Definitely a awesome alpha book. A cross between Pretty Woman and 50 shades without the extremes. The chemistry was extra hot and there was enough angst to make things interesting. Can’t wait for Lizzy’s Book! Hopefully we’ll see the characters from this book some in there.

A well written enjoyable story. Fantastic storyline with amazing characters. A must read!
Will Blake be able to fulfill Kat’s need?
This is my 4th book by Crystal and I love an author who writes in dual point of view. Kat leaves an interview at a restaurant and twists her ankle after bumping into Blake. Blake shows up at Kat’s work offering her an unorthodox job which Kat can’t say no to with her state of finances and her sister’s acceptance to NYU. But Blake and Kat put on a pretty believable romance until it comes to the real deal and Kat can’t go through with it. Will Blake be able to give Kat what she really wants, you have to read to find out.
First off, I have to say that I enjoy reading this authors work and I am slowly making way through her variety of series. I enjoyed reading Kat and Blake’s story but didn’t fall in love with Blake myself which I think is absolutely fine. Kat is a waitress with a ton of responsibilities and there seems to never be enough time or money to make things any easier. One day she literally runs into Blake and hurts her ankle which just puts the ‘nail in coffin’ on top of everything else. Of course, Blake feeling bad and needing to get a little something of his own looked after makes a deal with Kat. She helps convince the world that they are in love. As we all know the saying ‘fake it until you make it’, in this kind of story – this always does not bode well, we always lose hearts in the mix. It is just extra awesome if you are not the only one and you get your HEA.

This was a wonderful story. It was marvelously written. Unfortunately, it was incredibly detailed. While this is not always a bad thing, sometimes it is. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book in exchange for a free copy.

Walking into to a job interview only to have the person look down their nose and tell her its taken Kat is at her wits end.

This is the 5th book I’ve read written Crystal Kaswell; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I will definitely be reading more of her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
I loved the chemistry between the characters.

Crystal is one of my favorite authors that I will drop what I’m doing to read. I finished this book in one sitting. Their story is sweet, heartfelt and sexy as sin.
It’s a story of what we do and sacrifice for our family. I’m just glad that fate destined them to be together. There are just some couples that you truly feel earned their wings and are meant to fly together through this crazy world. These 2 have.

A scintillatingly sensual experience. The main male character is a very self-assured, strong-willed, determined, authoritative man. The main female character is a strong-willed woman when concerning her family, who she is devoted to. She does have an innate desire to release all her cares into the trusted hands of the main male character.
Good: story, characterizations, romance.

I started this book and was not getting into the story. I thought about not finishing it because I just wasn’t engaged with the plot. After powering through the first few chapters I found myself unable to put it down! The story is slow to entice but once you’re in you get invested! I found the main character to have more than just one emotion unlike other similar books. Give this book a chance and power through the beginning before writing it off!

It was a plot that can be found too often. And I didn’t expect much.
The book was easy and fun to read. The characters were strong, the motivations for the deal acceptable, the interactions interesting.
I recommend the story to any fan of that kind of books.

I really loved this book even though they had both gone through so much sadness, pain and loss in there live, what started out as a business deal turned into true love and a great ending. I definitely recommend you read this book and you will not be disappointed.
When Blake asked Kat to marry him in name only, she thought she could do it. Short engagement and short marriage and she would leave with plenty of money. What happens when feelings get involved? This story had me laughing and crying!
I am a HUGE Crystal Kaswell fan. I really enjoy has she explorers the impact of life struggles and injustices on living life to the fullest versus surviving. Self worth and emotional preservation are two key factors in this story and they are being driven for a childhood of abuse. On the outside Blake is a driven, powerful, successful man. If he wants something he gets it. On the inside it is a different story. He does not believe love is real and if it is it is painful not supportive and giving. He thinks because he is rich and owns material things that is is happy. That is until he meets Kat. Kat has her own demons she deals with but she still looks for the beauty in people and the world she lives in. She know money can’t buy happiness, but she also knows she needs some money in order to grow and obtain her dream. Blake makes a deal with Kat that is impossible to ignore. He will pay off her debts and give her a million dollars to marry him ust so his mother can die feeling he is going to be ok. First passion and attraction drive this bragin but love sneaks up on them. Kat pulls out of the deal because she needs Blakes heart. Can Blake live without her? Can he open his heart to love? Can he give her what she needs? The journey is long and emotional. Totally worth the read. I also enjoyed the novella length extended epilogue that gives us readers more insight into the future of these two and how they still have emotional ticking time bombs that must be disarmed in order to secure their HEA. I can’t wait for Kat’s sister Lizzy’s story. I feel like that story has been happening without Kat having a clue.
