Caviar Marriage - by Julia Byrd (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

She wants to land the man and the mansion... but first she's got to land a few fish.

Stella Woodward is ready to ditch her unsatisfying job and boxy apartment for a vintage modernist mansion and a gorgeous new husband.

But as it turns out, asking the icy, honorable Everett Novak to marry her so they can split a family inheritance isn't the strangest part of her life.

Stella's shocked when Everett agrees to her slipshod plan for a shared future. The older generation is passing them an estate complete with its own school of sturgeon whose delicate caviar is highly prized. By the time Stella and Everett realize the endangered fish are missing, their elderly relatives have fled town. Although marrying Everett seems to offer Stella a life of easy luxury, she knows he just wants her inheritance, not a tangle of legal threats.

Yet even when Stella can't offer him much besides the last jar of caviar, Everett confesses that he likes her more than is strictly convenient. Before anybody else ends up in jail over fish crimes, Stella decides to go after the most valuable catch in the world... and the slippery chance at a real marriage.
