The sun was just completely aggressive the next morning. It didn’t give a single damn if Marcus had spent the entire night tearing his own mind into tiny, bloody shreds.

It just blasted right through the thin linen curtains of the guest room, bright and hot and completely unforgiving.

Downstairs, the villa was already humming with that sickening, wealthy kind of noise. The board retreat had officially started. Marcus could hear the faint, awful clinking of silver spoons against expensive porce

  • Once Discarded, I Married His Dearest Daddy   The Dining Room Dismissal

    Marcus sat on the far right side of the dinning table. He kept his head completely down. His chin was practically resting against his collarbone. He just focused entirely on the intricate, stupid blue floral pattern painted onto his antique porcelain dinner plate.Because if he looked up, he was actually going to lose his mind.Diane was sitting directly across from him. Just five feet of polished wood and flickering candlelight separating them. She wasn't wearing a formal evening gown. She wasn't wearing a modest blouse. She wasn't wearing anything even remotely appropriate for a quiet family dinner with the patriarch of a global shipping empire.She was wearing a slip dress.It was silk. A dark, liquid crimson color that looked exactly like freshly oxygenated blood under the heavy crystal chandelier. And it was tight. So incredibly, offensively tight. The fabric looked like it was literally painted onto her skin, clinging violently to the swell of her hips and the heavy dip of her

  • Once Discarded, I Married His Dearest Daddy   Stolen Snapshot

    The sun was just completely aggressive the next morning. It didn’t give a single damn if Marcus had spent the entire night tearing his own mind into tiny, bloody shreds. It just blasted right through the thin linen curtains of the guest room, bright and hot and completely unforgiving.Downstairs, the villa was already humming with that sickening, wealthy kind of noise. The board retreat had officially started. Marcus could hear the faint, awful clinking of silver spoons against expensive porcelain coffee cups out on the main breakfast patio. He could hear the low, confident murmurs of men who actually had control over their lives. The smell of dark roasted espresso and warm butter drifted up through the floorboards. It honestly made him want to throw up.He hadn’t slept. Not even for ten minutes.Every time he had closed his eyes, the heavy, suffocating darkness behind his eyelids just immediately filled with wet black lace. He just kept seeing the way the pool water slicked her dar

  • Once Discarded, I Married His Dearest Daddy   The Lingerie Swim

    Sophia’s voice wouldn’t leave his head. Two weeks. We’re doing it now. The words just bounced around the empty chambers of his skull like loose coins, heavy and annoying and completely loud. A strategic marriage. A quick fix to get his signatures back. A shield to block the woman currently sleeping just two hallways down from him.It was all supposed to make perfect sense on paper. He was supposed to feel relieved, or maybe a little bit powerful, or at least like he had a plan. Instead, he just felt sick. The kind of deep, oily nausea that settles right into your bones after you realize you’ve sold the last piece of yourself to a machine that doesn't even care about your name.The main villa was completely suffocating tonight. Because of some stupid, drawn-out board retreat his father insisted on hosting for the weekend, Marcus had been forced to take his old bedroom on the second floor. He couldn't remember the last time he’d stayed here overnight. The air in the room felt thick,

  • Once Discarded, I Married His Dearest Daddy    The Accelerated Vow

    The hotel room smelled of expensive travel leather, heavy London rain clinging to wool, and the sharp, clinical bite of Sophia’s signature perfume. It was a suffocatingly upscale suite tucked away in the hills above Cannes, the kind of place where the thick drapes were specifically designed to block out the Mediterranean sun, keeping the world permanently dim and quiet.Sophia didn’t look like someone who had just spent four hours trapped on a private flight. Her hair was pulled back into a flawless, severe twist. Her tailored traveling coat was neatly draped over the back of the sofa, entirely devoid of wrinkles. She looked like a woman who had everything under control.Until she looked at him.The moment Marcus stepped through the door, her eyes locked onto his wrinkled linen shirt. She tracked the faint, sticky bourbon stain near his cuff, then moved up to the raw, bloodshot look in his eyes.She stopped dead in the middle of the plush cream carpet. "You look like a corpse someo

  • Once Discarded, I Married His Dearest Daddy   The Bottom of the Glass

    He did not remember walking down the driveway. He just suddenly found himself gripping the cold steering wheel of his car. His knuckles were completely numb. The engine was roaring way too loud in the silent estate. He tore down the winding coastal roads blindly. He was going way too fast. The tires shrieked violently against the asphalt on every single tight hairpin turn. He didn't even try to tap the brakes. A sick part of him actually wanted the heavy car to just lose traction completely. He wanted it to launch right over the low stone retaining wall. A quick, brutal plunge into the freezing black Mediterranean water below seemed like a fantastic idea. It was certainly a hell of a lot better than going back to his empty, silent apartment to choke on his own disgusting thoughts.The image of that green satin robe was permanently burned into his retinas. He kept seeing the pale swell of her chest. He kept hearing that wet, heavy sound her voice made when she told him she was goi

  • Once Discarded, I Married His Dearest Daddy   The Satin Trap

    He froze in his steps. The voice wasn't loud. It was soft. Almost casual. But it completely paralyzed him. He didn't want to turn around. He really didn't. His brain was screaming at him to just keep walking down the stairs and pretend he didn't hear anything. Just walk away and get in the car. But his body betrayed him. It always did when it came to her. He rotated slowly on the balls of his feet. The thick carpet felt like quicksand pulling him down.And then he saw her.The breath actually left his lungs in a sharp, pathetic wheeze. He almost choked on his own saliva. She was standing right there in the doorway. The warm golden light from the master bedroom was spilling out directly behind her. It framed her like some sort of cruel, untouchable painting in the dark hallway. Her hair was a complete mess. It was pulled up into this loose, scattered bun, with dark strands sticking to her damp neck and falling haphazardly across her collarbone. She looked completely wrecked. She l

  • Once Discarded, I Married His Dearest Daddy   Run All You Want

    Damien had made it back from Nice around dawn. He looked incredibly broad sitting at the head of the long marble table, his skin flushed and healthy from the sea air, completely oblivious to the thick, suffocating tension that had been building in his house all night.It was supposed to be a relaxe

  • Once Discarded, I Married His Dearest Daddy   Sneak Peek

    The villa was entirely too quiet when Damien was away for the regional port authority dinners. The staff had been dismissed to the lower quarters at eight, leaving the main house dark, save for the massive, integrated LED strips lining the baseboards of the kitchen. It was past ten. The marble is

  • Once Discarded, I Married His Dearest Daddy   Just a Taste

    Marcus was waiting for the heavy industrial machine to finish binding the quarterly transit ledgers. The fluorescent light in the fourth-floor copy room had a rhythmic, irritating flicker. It was faint, just enough to make your eyes ache if you stood under the plastic casing for more than five min

  • Once Discarded, I Married His Dearest Daddy   The New Kingmaker

    The glass walls of the primary boardroom were designed to reflect the harbor, but today, with the rain finally cleared, they just let in a cold, piercing glare that made the long mahogany table look like a sheet of dark ice.The air conditioning was humming too low. It was that expensive, scentless
