She can afford to buy a husband. Falling in love with him could cost her everything.

Kit Dalgleish is the most beautiful man in Edinburgh—and his creditors are catching up.

Euphemia Rattray has a fortune, an estate, and a face she keeps behind a veil. She needs a husband who will leave her property alone. Kit needs someone willing to pay for his mistakes.

Her proposal is simple: a marriage contract, an allowance, separate rooms. He supplies his name. She keeps control.

Kit signs.

Unfortunately, the beautiful, supposedly useless man insists on reading every clause. Learning her tenants' names. Knocking at her door. And playing chess with her, with a question owed to the winner.

Euphemia rarely loses.

But with every game, keeping her secrets becomes harder—and keeping her heart becomes impossible.

When Kit's debts threaten to turn him into a public spectacle, she must choose whether to hide behind their bargain or stand beside her husband with nothing between them.
