The marriage trap

The sexy second installment in the New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling Marriage to a Billionaire trilogy, this contemporary billionaire romance from “one of the most exciting breakout novelists” (USA TODAY) Jennifer Probst delivers passion, family loyalty, and a marriage of convenience that feels all too real. To honor his late father’s final wish, hot, single billionaire Michael Conte must find a suitable bride—and quickly—so his traditional Italian family will allow his sister to marry. Determined to protect his freedom, Michael proposes a temporary arrangement to fiery, independent photographer Maggie Ryan: pose as his fiancée during her upcoming trip to Milan, and he’ll back off from pursuing her best friend and end their dangerously flirtatious standoff. But once they arrive in Italy, their fake engagement ignites very real desire. What begins as a no-strings-attached arrangement turns into a slow-burn battle of wills, family expectations, and undeniable chemistry. As passion deepens and loyalties are tested, Maggie and Michael must decide whether their pretend relationship can survive the truth—and whether love is the one commitment neither of them planned for. A steamy marriage-of-convenience romance filled with sexual tension, sharp banter, and emotional payoff, this installment in the Marriage to a Billionaire series blends family drama, Italian glamour, and irresistible attraction.
