A forced marriage. A fragile truce. A burning desire.

A forced marriage. A fragile truce. A burning desire.

The first time I met Brianna was at the altar. I expected to loathe her. She was the daughter of the crime boss threatening the lives of my family, but there was something in her eyes that told me I wasn’t the only victim here. She’s terrified of me, ignorant of the fact I won’t—can’t—lay a hand on her, let alone consummate the marriage. Even so, her vulnerability draws me closer, awakening something dangerous lying dormant within me.

And then there’s him. The hitman-turned-bodyguard who shadows her every move.

And part of me burns with the desire to follow them to the bedroom and watch.
