The President’s Contracted Bride
She heard the door creak open, and her breath caught in her throat. The bed shifted behind her as he lay down, his arm wrapping around her waist. His face buried in her hair, his lips softly exploring her neck.
"What—what are you doing?" she stuttered, her voice barely above a whisper. Her mind racing with the sudden intimacy.
"Hugging my wife," he murmured against her cheek. His warm breath sent shivers down her spine.
"This—wasn't part of the deal," she protested weakly, his cologne intoxicating her senses.
"Rules are meant to be broken," he whispered, his voice low and husky. "Now, face me, wifey. Let me feel your arms around me!"

Powerful, successful and in control. Nothing is out of Viktor Alessandro Rossi's reach. With a Gulfstream jet on standby, and a company that rule the whole city, the world is his oyster. But he's missing just one thing — a wife. According to his late grandfather's will, he must marry at the age of 30 to inherit controlling shares of Rossi industries.
Katarina Reed knew she only had herself to blame. She shouldn't have asked for his help. Of course if she'd known he'd request that she be his wife for two years, she'd have hesitated in accepting his help. Because what she had learned from Viktor was that the devil wasn't ugly and terrorizing. He was seductive and captivating.
Would she escape the devil's grasp, or forever be bound to him?

Chapter: Chapter 4The next morning, Katarina paced up and down her new room. If the situation were different, she'd be in love with this house. Last night, he left her hanging after making that ridiculous statement. Now, she was torn. Should she leave or stay and marry a man she knew nothing about, not even his name?The door creaked open, and Orion, her savior's assistant, entered the room. "Hi," Katarina muttered, her gaze drifting from his face to the file in his hand.He was just like his boss - cold and distant. Orion stretched out the file, and Katarina's eyes widened as she took it. A lump formed in her throat."Mr. Rossi wants your decision now," Orion said, his voice firm. She swallowed hard, feeling sweat trickle down her spine. What was she to do? Return home and watch her sister marry the man she loved, or stay and marry this stranger?Orion's voice cut through her thoughts. "One..." He paused, his eyes locked on hers. "Two..." Katarina's eyes widened in alarm. What was he doing?"What ar

Chapter: Chapter 3The black Aston Martin purred to a halt in front of a majestic mansion. Viktor's hand fell from the wheel, and he turned to gaze at the young woman sleeping in the passenger seat. Her silky hair cascaded over her face, and her soft snores filled the air. His eyes narrowed in surprise. How could she fall asleep without knowing their destination?A knock on the tinted window broke the silence, and he turned to see Orion standing outside. He wound down the window."Mr. Rossi, you should get down. I'll carry her to the guestroom," Orion suggested.Viktor's gaze drifted back to the young woman, his eyes reaching for her curled fists. Memories of her desperate plea for help flashed through his mind, and he shook his head."I'll carry her myself," he stated, his voice firm.Orion's eyes widened in surprise, but Viktor ignored him. He stepped out of the car and rounded it to her side. Gently opening the door, he scooped her sleeping figure into his arms. Instinctively, her arms curled around

Chapter: Chapter 2Viktor Alessandro Rossi was driving way too fast, especially for these country roads, his face set. He had been driving around Brooklyn for hours, circling aimlessly in his sleek Aston Martin, with his bodyguards trailing behind him in their cars. Not even the comfort of the cushion interior and the way the car hugged the road's curves could soothe his restless spirit. His mood was vicious, just as it had been ever since the bombshell in his grandfather’s will had exploded. His hands tightened over the wheel of the car, anger coursing through him.At age 22, he joined Rossi industries, quickly rising through ranks. And now that he had made it to the top by himself, his grandfather had done to him what he had—made that outrageous, pernicious demand in his will.As Viktor drove, a call came in through the infotainment system, Orion's name flashing on the screen. Without taking his eyes off the road, Viktor accepted the call. "Mr. Rossi, it's not safe for you to drive yourself," Orion'

Chapter: Chapter 1"You can't be serious, Mason!" Katarina Reed felt herself sway a little. Maybe she was becoming a bit lightheaded from shock. She put out her hand to touch the desk, hoping to steady herself, but then snatched it away. She’d be damned if she allowed herself to show any weakness; especially in front of him. “You’re breaking up with me?" Still seated on his thickly padded, comfortable office chair, Mason leaned back and steepled his fingers—a gesture she always hated, because it came across as pompous and pretentious. “Come now, Rina,” he said in tones that she figured were meant to be soothing, but only sounded patronizing. "I'm not breaking up with you, exactly. You know that.""Then what are you saying?" She struggled to keep her tone even. She had been elated when he'd called her to visit his office. Now, she could feel the air around her suddenly growing cold, as she stared at him, awaiting for his reply. This was a joke. A slip of tongue. "I've long thought about this and—," he
