For four months, Sharon secretly cursed her ex-boyfriend Ethan Pierce every single day. When she finally receives the call announcing his death, she can't believe her luck. She spends the entire night choosing the perfect funeral outfit, arrives looking like she's closing a billion-dollar business deal, and delivers the performance of a lifetime—crying so hard that everyone believes she's the grieving woman who loved him most. Except... She faints. When she wakes up, the supposedly dead Ethan is sitting beside her. Turns out his death was nothing more than a carefully planned deception in a brutal family inheritance war. Now the only witness to his survival is the one woman who can't stand him. Forced into his dangerous game, Sharon soon discovers that pretending to mourn him is much easier than pretending she doesn't still have feelings buried beneath years of resentment. Enemies. Former lovers. One fake death. One impossible marriage. And one very possessive man determined to prove that no one could ever love her more than he does.
