M-writez
She crashed into his world. He claimed her as his own. Now they're both in danger of losing everything. Chloe Woods didn't plan to marry a crime lord. She planned to escape one. But when her desperate flight from a monster leads her to crash through the gates of Dante Donovan's estate, she stumbles into the arms of a far more dangerous man. One who doesn't ask questions. One who doesn't negotiate. One who takes what he wants and dares the world to stop him. By sunrise, she's his wife. By nightfall, she's his obsession. Dante Donovan built an empire on blood and secrets. He trusts no one, loves no one, and answers to no one. But the fearless, infuriating woman who insulted him to his face and kissed him like she was daring him to want more has become his greatest weakness. She's chaos wrapped in silk. A rebellion in heels. A complication he should eliminate. Except he can't. Because Chloe Woods is the key to the revenge he's spent a decade planning. Her father destroyed his family. Her fiancé wants her dead. And Dante? Dante wants to possess her so completely that she forgets she was ever anyone else's. But Chloe isn't a woman who belongs to anyone. She's a woman who burns down empires just to watch the flames dance. As rival families close in and buried secrets claw their way to the surface, Dante must choose: use his accidental wife as a weapon in his war, or protect her with his life. And Chloe must decide: run from the man who terrifies her, or surrender to the only man who has ever made her feel alive. Some marriages are made in heaven. This one was forged in hell. And neither of them is walking away.

Elena is a struggling single mother fighting to save her seven-year-old son, Kim, whose heart condition requires expensive treatment. Desperate for a stable income, she accepts a job as Damien's secretary at Starlight Entertainment Agency. But working for Damien is nothing like she expected. Arrogant, controlling, and accustomed to getting whatever he wants, Damien becomes fascinated when Elena refuses to be impressed by his wealth or intimidated by his power. When he tries to win her the way he has won every other woman—with money, charm, and persistence—she makes one thing clear: her heart is not for sale. What begins as Damien's determination to prove that every woman has a price slowly becomes something far more dangerous—real love. As their attraction grows, secrets, jealousy, betrayal, and Elena's complicated past threaten to tear them apart. Then Elena discovers that Damien's first interest in her was nothing more than a game. Heartbroken, she walks away. For the first time in his life, Damien discovers that money cannot fix everything. If he wants Elena back, he must give up the one thing he has always relied on—control—and prove that he loves her for who she is, not because he wants to possess her. But with Kim's life hanging in the balance and one final secret threatening to destroy everything, Damien must make the biggest choice of his life. Can he earn back the trust of the only woman he cannot buy, or will his past mistakes cost him the woman he has finally learned to love?
