Million Dollar Marriage
Katy Evans
(Million Dollar #2)
Published: July 23, 2019 by Montlake Romance
If someone had bet Nell a million dollars that she would be saying “I do” to a complete stranger on national television, she’d have called them crazy, but with her crushing student loan payments sending her deep into the red, she’s out of options. This should be nothing more than a business transaction—until she sets eyes on her groom, and everything changes.
The game is on the instant Luke spots Penelope “Nell” Carpenter. He’s out for the money, yes, but getting a little dirty with Nell doesn’t sound too bad either. Everyone knows he’s not the marrying kind, so it’s a good thing it’s just for show. God knows he’s the worst guy his pretty wife should pick for real.
They have nothing in common, but if they want the grand prize, they’ll have to beat out eight other couples. Proving that total opposites attract should be easy enough…as long as they don’t fall in love in the process.
An Excerpt from Million Dollar Marriage:
I’m going to lose my lunch.
It’s the live finale the entire
country has been waiting for. The arena is packed to the gills with reporters,
cameras pointed at us. Flashbulbs go off, and my future seems to flash through
my eyes with them.
Everything depends on what will
happen in the next hour. We could give our answer in a split second, but not
now. I know the announcer will drag things out to the point of sheer madness.
Recaps of poignant moments from the season, interviews with contestants,
performances by “special celebrity guests” who are also fans of the show.
It’s all meant to build up to the
moment of truth. Every one of the people in this arena, every one of the
thirteen million people watching at home—they’re all waiting on the edge of
their seats with the same question.
Will they
. . . or won’t they?
I wish to god we could just give our
answer and be done.
He’s so close, but he might as well
be a million miles away. Our fingers entwined, he waves at the crowd cheering
our names. His hand isn’t the least bit clammy. I manage a peek at him, his
chiseled features, his relaxed smile, and my throat catches.
No wonder the world is in love with
him. No wonder he’s been the fan favorite since week one.
This is it. The end. Or . . .
I look over at him and say, “Luke .
. . I’m not . . .”
He shakes his head almost
imperceptibly. “It’s okay,” he murmurs, his fingers stroking my palm. “Breathe,
Penny. Just breathe.”
So I do. But air is not the only
thing I need to make me okay right now.
We’ve been through so much, more
than most couples will go through in entire lifetimes.
And now we’re about to make the
decision that will shape our future.
To think, seven months ago, I didn’t
even know Luke Cross. Three months ago, I despised him. But somewhere along the
line, things changed.
Somewhere along this crazy little
adventure we’ve been having, played out on television for the entire world to
see, I did what I told myself I’d never do.
I don’t even know how it happened,
but as I look back, it seems so inevitable. Like I couldn’t have stopped it,
even if I’d tried.
But just because it was meant to
happen doesn’t mean it will last forever . . .
