He’s a billionaire in need of a wife … And I’m his ex who can’t say no to him. Ten years ago Carson Knight was my one great love, but he abandoned me without a trace. Now he’s a billionaire single-dad in need of a temporary wife. And he’s at my house on one knee with a proposal … Marry him, so he’s more likely to win full custody of his daughter, keeping her safe from her unstable mother. In return, he’ll take care of the medical expenses for a surgery my father needs to survive. Reluctantly, I agree to tie the knot, on one condition. Once those custody papers are signed, we go our separate ways. Because he’s even more gorgeous, charming, and sweeter than he was back then, and I don’t trust myself not to fall for my fake husband. Especially when I hear him say “my wife.” Or feel his hands on my skin. Taste his kiss or see the way he looks at me with those blue eyes and know that our carefully crafted rules will shatter. Right alongside my heart.

What a beautiful ending to a fantastic series! I was all in my feelings while reading this book.
He’s a billionaire in need of a wife …
And I’m his ex who can’t say no to him.
Brynn thought she had found the love of her life during spring break, but the boy she spent a week with, who promised her the world, left her alone on his last day. Ten years later, she comes face to face with Carson "Crew" Knight at her brother's wedding, and she's taken back to the heartbreak she went through, never moving on from him. But Crew is back, and a billionaire at that, and he needs her help: marry him so he can get custody over his daughter; in exchange, Brynn gets the medical expenses covered for her father's liver transplant surgery.
"I remember the first time we danced," Crew says with a smile.
"We didn't have music then."
"No, we had just our heartbeats and the ocean."
"Well, we have music now at least."
Crew's blue eyes stay on mine. "I liked our song better."
Brynn and Crew connection was the strongest out of all the Whitlock's. Their history from ten years ago made their romance and their willingness to be there for each other all the more believable. I couldn't stop being giddy and awww'ing! Brynn and Crew are truly made for each other. When they reconnect, it's like no time has passed. Their feelings are there ten-fold, and the chemistry between them is even more electrifying!
"I stole you, and now, I plan to try to earn you."
Crew is just the absolute sweetest! HE'LL HAVE YOU SWOONING SO HARD from beginning to end! He does so many things for Brynn. I'd list them all, but it's better if you experience first-hand how wonderful this man is for Brynn. He really deserves her and does everything in his power to prove he does.
"Bee, steal my heart because ten years ago I gave it to you, and it's only ever been yours."
As for the side characters, Layla (Crew's daughter) was a beautiful addition. I LOVED Crew's relationship with her. He's so gone for that little girl. And Brynn and Layla built a beautiful connection that I couldn't get enough of. I also loved how present the Whitlock family was in this book, which I appreciated so much, since it's the last book of the series. I loved even more how we got to see Asher, Grady, and Rowan act like big brothers' towards Brynn, as well as seeing how much they love and support her.
You will binge this book! I started it and couldn't stop reading! While it was a bittersweet ending, having to say goodbye to a favorite series and family, I'm so excited for the introduction we got for the next series!
