If Love Had A Price is the third novel in Ana Huang's If Love series. It follows a wealthy heiress and a struggling actor whose fake seduction scheme slowly turns into an unexpected romance. Packed with witty banter, sizzling chemistry, emotional growth, and the classic opposites-attract trope, it's a heartfelt romance about discovering that love is worth far more than money.
When billionaire heiress Kristina "Kris" Carrera discovers that her father is about to marry a woman she believes is only interested in his fortune, she's determined to stop the wedding at any cost. Her desperate plan? Hire an irresistibly handsome stranger to seduce her future stepmother and expose her true intentions.
That stranger is Nate Reynolds, a charming aspiring actor struggling to support himself and his younger sister while chasing his Hollywood dreams. Initially offended by Kris's proposition, Nate agrees only after negotiating a higher payment—and adding one unexpected condition: one kiss from Kris, whenever he chooses.
What begins as a strictly business arrangement quickly becomes far more complicated. As Kris and Nate spend more time together, the walls they've built around themselves begin to crumble. Beneath Kris's icy exterior lies a lonely woman burdened by family expectations, while beneath Nate's carefree smile is a fiercely loyal man carrying responsibilities far beyond his years.
As their fake arrangement evolves into genuine affection, they must confront the realities of their vastly different worlds. Wealth, social status, family obligations, and personal insecurities threaten to pull them apart, forcing both to decide whether love is worth risking everything they've worked for.
