I thought my biggest challenge was building a career. Then my father's company was hit by a financial scandal, clients began walking away, and the man who had always held our family together ended up in a hospital bed. With everything falling apart around me, I was forced to step into a world of boardrooms, secrets, and power plays I knew nothing about. That's when I met Damien Hart. A cold, powerful, and impossible to read man, he seemed to know more about my family's troubles than he should. The closer I got to the truth, the more I realized that nothing was as it seemed, and neither was he. Now I'm caught between saving my family, protecting my heart, and trusting the one man I probably shouldn't trust. Because some contracts are signed on paper, the most dangerous ones are signed with the heart.

I walked down the aisle to marry the man I was supposed to hate. Adrian Blackwood was older, powerful, devastatingly attractive—and the last man I should have wanted. He was also the man I once caught leaving my mother’s bedroom. So when he offered to save my dying family business in exchange for marrying me, I knew exactly what I was getting into. Or so I thought. Because the moment Adrian became my husband, the rules changed. His hands lingered too long. His eyes followed me when he thought I wasn't looking. Every heated argument between us seemed to end with us standing far too close, fighting an attraction neither of us was willing to name. And the worst part? I wanted him. But Adrian wasn't the only one keeping secrets. My father didn't die in an accident. My mother knows why. And Adrian has been protecting the truth for sixteen years. Now forbidden desire is pulling me deeper into a marriage built on lies, while someone is determined to make sure I never discover what really happened the night my father died. I married my mother's secret lover. Now I'm falling into his bed, his secrets, and a passion I was never supposed to feel. But when I uncover the truth, I may discover that the man I thought stole my mother's heart has been protecting mine all along. He was my mother's forbidden secret. Now he's my husband. And I can't decide what's more dangerous—wanting him or discovering why he chose me.
