Camila Reyes never planned on being anyone's wife. She's been the only parent her nine-year-old sister Luz has left since their parents died, working two jobs and refusing to let their past bury either of them. When her uncle Ricardo files for an expedited custody hearing, Cami has three weeks to become someone the court can't touch, and no way to do it alone. That's when a stranger's card and a billionaire's proposal collide. Rowan Blackwood needs a wife for one year, no questions asked, and Cami needs exactly what he's offering. What she doesn't know is that Rowan chose her file on purpose. Her last name belongs to the man he's spent a decade blaming for his father's death and the collapse of everything his family built. Marrying her isn't mercy. It's the closest he's ever gotten to revenge. Living under Rowan's roof changes the plan neither of them expected to abandon. Luz starts to feel safe for the first time in years. Cami starts to wonder if the coldest man she's ever met is capable of wanting something he swore he'd never allow himself. And Rowan starts to realize the woman he married to punish an enemy might be the only person who's ever told him the truth. Can a marriage built to settle an old score survive if both people start falling for the lie they created? Will Ricardo destroy their fragile peace before either of them figures out what they actually feel? And when Cami finally learns just how much of this marriage was orchestrated before she ever said yes, will she believe she was loved, or will she realize she was played? Find out in Book One of the Blackwood Legacy, Wife for Hire.

I had a unique profession. I was a breakup specialist. I did not need to go to court or write any contracts for that. That was a lawyer’s job. Everyone kept saying that love was priceless, but a couple who professed their love to each other for an entire night could be paying me tons to break their relationship up the following day. I was shaking my head upon those matters when I received a message from my husband, Matthew Grant, asking me to pick our wedding anniversary’s destination. A few seconds after that, a beautiful woman walked into my office. She appeared timid and had to take a lot of time to summon the courage to speak. “I’d like to hire your services for my boyfriend. He has decided to divorce his wife.” I made no comment as I picked up the documents she had handed me, only to see Matthew’s name on the paper. I froze, while the woman sitting in front of me ducked her head and continued, “My boyfriend says that his wife is a good person and that he doesn’t want to hurt her.” I smiled as I stared at the picture; it clearly was Matthew, but I had the strange feeling of seeing a foreign person too. My heart throbbed, and I could only lament. This was my third year as a breakup specialist, and I was actually hired to break up my own relationship.

My name is Evelyn Brown. I represent the company in the IPO bidding process. Halfway through my presentation, I notice everyone in the room staring at me with puzzled expressions. In that instant, I realize my PowerPoint slides have been swapped for a "Paid Surrogate" advertisement. The wording is utterly humiliating. "I've lived the first 20 years of my life in a poor mountain village. I'm healthy and can promise a son. My price is negotiable." I rush backstage, only to see the impoverished student my father, Eric Brown, has sponsored for years laughing uncontrollably. Leaning against my fiance, Dwayne Woodruff, Katherine Cadwell says, "Oh, Ms. Brown, don't be upset! I was just teasing you to lighten the mood. You just got back home. Don't stress yourself out so much." I grab her arm, insisting she come out and explain herself. But out of nowhere, Dwayne shoves me to the floor. "You've just returned," he says. "We only pulled a little prank on you because we didn't want you to be too tense. If you can't handle even this amount of pressure, how can you be expected to take over the company?" I can't help but scoff. Right in front of them, I send the live recording straight to my father, the CEO. Without a second thought, I dial his number. "Dad, look at what your 'star scholarship student' just pulled. Can we have her and Dwayne kicked out of the company?"
