Lizbeth Rose
Neveah's wedding day ends in humiliation when her fiancé abandons her at the altar, claiming she is too controlling, stubborn, and impossible to live with.
Instead of begging him to return, Neveah walks away. She takes a break from work and spends her days trying to forget the disaster that ruined her plans for the future. But just when she begins getting her life back together, her parents present her with a marriage proposal from one of their family's oldest business allies.
The groom is Sebastian Blackwood.
Her British nemesis.
Sebastian and Neveah have hated each other since high school. Their rivalry followed them through college, with every encounter turning into a competition. Neither has ever been willing to admit defeat.
Sebastian isn't interested in marriage either. His father's endless blind dates have left him convinced that most women only want his wealth, influence, and family name. But when his father suggests Neveah, Sebastian surprisingly agrees.
After all, Neveah would rather insult him than flatter him for his money.
Their marriage begins as nothing more than a convenient arrangement between two powerful families. But living under the same roof is a completely different battle.
Their arguments become banter. Their rivalry becomes attraction. And the woman Sebastian once considered his greatest annoyance slowly becomes the only woman he can't imagine losing.
For Neveah, however, falling in love again is terrifying. After being abandoned once, trusting another man with her heart feels like giving him the power to destroy her all over again.
Sebastian is determined to prove that he isn't her first fiancé—and that this time, she wasn't chosen for him.
She was chosen by him.
They married expecting to survive each other.
Neither expected to fall in love.
