Just days before our wedding, Austin Rhodes's first love was forced into an arranged marriage with Sanchester's most notorious playboy. Unable to watch her throw her life away, Austin crashed the ceremony, stole the bride, and fled the country with her that very night. Sanchester's high society was grabbing their popcorn, waiting for me and the Pierce family to become the ultimate laughingstock. But the very next day, Maxwell Pierce drifted his supercar to a screeching halt right at my feet. "The wife pays for the husband's sins. Austin stole my bride, so you're going to pay his debt," he said, leaning out the window. "You'll be my wife. Fair trade, right?" I flashed him a sweet smile. "Sounds perfectly fair to me."
