He bought me at a marriage auction. Now I’m the wife he never wanted.

Tyler Hawthorne has despised me since the day we met. To him, I’ll always be the spoiled daughter of the man who blackmailed him. To me, he’s the cold, ruthless man who kissed like he was setting me on fire and then told me I meant nothing. Our wedding night was full of passion but when morning came, he threw me out of his apartment and we’ve never spoken. For years.

And when I sent him divorce papers to end the marriage we both never wanted, he refused to sign them! But that wouldn’t be an issue, if it didn’t mean we had to work together. Every stolen glance, every forbidden touch, pulls me back into the danger of wanting him. Working side by side only blurs the line between hate and hunger until I can’t tell which burns hotter.

He says he hates me. He says he’ll never love me. So why does it feel like I’m the only thing he can’t resist?

The Marriage Bid is Tyler & Saffron’s story. It is an enemies-to-lovers, marriage-of-convenience billionaire romance that is part of a series but can be read as a standalone.
