"Sign the contract, Lily. One year as my wife, and I’ll give you everything you've ever dreamed of."
Dante Morrison is cold, ruthless, and everything I should stay away from. He’s also my abusive ex’s billionaire stepbrother—and the only man powerful enough to save me.
When Dante rescues me in a darkened parking garage, he makes me a sinful offer: a one-year marriage of convenience to humiliate his rival and protect my life. The rules are simple—live in his penthouse, wear his ring, and pretend I belong to him.
"This is strictly business, Dante," I whisper, my back pressed against the cool glass of his bedroom window as he steps into my personal space.
"Is it?" His dark, possessive gaze drops to my parted lips. He cages me between his muscular arms, the intoxicating scent of cedarwood and expensive whiskey invading my senses. His rough thumb traces my jawline, sending a scorching jolt of heat straight to my core. "Because right now, wife, business is the last thing on my mind. Tell me to step back, and I will."
I should push him away. I should remember the contract. But as his mouth hovers millimeters from mine, the forbidden, steamy tension between us ignites into an inferno.
I grab the lapels of his tailored suit and pull him against me. "Don't you dare stop."
