Janna Lemay Romance

“Hailey woke up naked in an unfamiliar hotel room, staring at the stranger beside her and a smear of dried blood on the sheets. She instantly realized she had been drugged and framed by her sweet-smiling stepsister, Isabelle. Before she could even process the horror, her father called, ordering her to get home immediately to be sold off. He was forcing her to marry a cruel, abusive billionaire twice her age just to save their failing company. Sneaking back into her own house, she overheard her stepmother and stepsister's true plot. "Once she's married off to that old creep, everything in the Lawson family will finally be ours." Desperate, Hailey rushed to her ex-fiancé for help, only to find Isabelle already sitting by his hospital bed. Her ex-fiancé, suffering from selective amnesia, looked at Hailey with absolute disgust. "Leave. Now. Stop harassing Isabelle and me." Betrayed by her blood relatives and abandoned by the man who once promised to protect her, Hailey's heart completely died. Why did she have to be the sacrificial lamb for the very monsters who ruined her life? With only one hour left before her father's men dragged her away, she made a desperate, crazy move. She posted an anonymous ad online for an immediate contract husband, and the stranger from the hotel actually took the job. Hours later, Hailey walked back into her family's mansion, slapped her fake-crying stepsister across the face, and slammed her new marriage certificate onto the coffee table. "As a married woman, I am legally unavailable for your little business arrangement."”
