the wrong billionaire
(the ashford legacy book 1)

I asked the right brother for a baby. The wrong brother said yes.

One marriage of convenience.
One baby clause.
One mistake: falling for the husband I was never meant to keep.

After one disastrous relationship too many, thirty-three-year-old primary school teacher Wren Carter is done with love.
But she still wants a child.
Her plan is simple: ask someone she trusts. No romance. No complications.
Successful, dependable, and an old friend, Caesar Ashford is the perfect choice.
Until his younger brother finds out.

Marcus Ashford, charming, infuriating, and far too dangerous for Wren’s peace of mind, makes an outrageous counteroffer.
Marriage.
Wren should say no.
But Marcus offers security. A family. A future.
And there’s something she doesn’t know.
He’s wanted her for years.

Marcus has no intention of being a convenient solution. If Wren is having his baby, she’s becoming his wife—for real.
Wren tells herself it’s temporary. A marriage of convenience. A baby. Then they walk away.
But the wrong brother has always been the one who sees her best.
And living with him might be the biggest mistake, or the best decision, she’s ever made.
