CORA
Hilary Morel Banks had everything a woman could want—beauty, wealth, power, and the prestigious Banks name.
She thought she was about to marry the man she loved—until she caught her fiancée, the tech billionaire Miles Morales in bed with his secretary and realized that he had never loved her. He had only pursued her to use her against her father, in a decades-old war between their families.
His betrayal quickly turned her heartbreak into revenge.
Determined to make Miles regret using her, Hilary makes a shocking deal to a stranger she met on the street— William Carrington: Marry me for a month, and I’ll give you the biggest payday of your life.
William accepts the offer for one reason: he has nothing to lose. But Hilary doesn’t know that the man she’s paying to be her husband is hiding a secret of his own.
Things take a huge turn for Hillary as her buried past refuses to stay buried. As old wounds reopen and dangerous family secrets come out, they threaten to destroy her and everything she’s built.
What will happen to Hilary? Will she withstand the problems attached to the Banks name?
Is William just a random stranger or is there something more about him?
What happens when Hilary discovers the man she hired is far richer and more powerful than she ever imagined?
When Miles comes back begging for her love, would Hilary give him a second chance?
And what happens when William falls for his wife, will Hilary fall for him too—or realize her true feelings when it’s already too late?
