Married to the Wrong Sterling

I married Felix Sterling to keep my family from ruin. For a year, I've been the substitute bride he expects to stay quiet, look expensive, and know her place. Now my contract has forty-eight hours left—and his estranged brother is the only man asking what I want. Gabriel Sterling listens when I talk finance. He respects my choices. And the feelings I've tried to ignore are becoming harder to hide. But Felix expects a flawless wife at the anniversary gala, and walking away from a Sterling marriage means facing a family accustomed to getting its way. With midnight approaching, can I claim a future of my own—and choose the man I should have met first? A closed-door romance with a happily ever after. Content includes domestic abuse, confinement, and infidelity.
