The last thing Seth ever expected was to be involved in a marriage of convenience. After all, heโs not some trembling Victorian heroine. Heโs just a guy who loves to surf and spend his days in search of simple pleasures. Life hasnโt 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 canโt help but feel empathy.
When Tanner picked Seth up for the night, he didnโt intend on proposing. But heโs oddly drawn to Sethโs quiet energy and, most importantly, heโs got a deadline to meet; if he doesnโt get married by the time he turns thirty, heโs out of his inheritance. Unfortunately, heโs already twenty-nine and still not ready to get hitched. Seth doesnโt 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 Tannerโs father is murdered on the day of their wedding, things become exponentially complicated. Itโs hard for Tanner to imagine that his quiet, serene new husband could possibly be connected to his dadโs death. But the more he gets to know Seth, the more he realizes heโs maybe not the innocent, fun loving guy he assumed he was.
