Bright Writes
Harper Vargas spent every day of her marriage trying to be the perfect mate for Nicolás Duarte. She cooked his meals, smiled at his pack events, and ignored the cold emptiness in his eyes whenever he looked at her. She told herself it was enough. She told herself he would learn to love her eventually.
Then she found her sister's photograph hidden in his drawer, and everything she believed came crashing down.
Valentina was always the golden daughter. The pretty one. The thin one. The one their parents actually wanted. And while Harper played house with a man who could barely stand the sight of her, Valentina was warming his bed overseas, laughing about how easy it was to fool the fat, desperate little sister who never knew when to quit.
Now Harper is alone, broke, fired from her job, and backed into a corner by a father who sees her as nothing more than a bargaining chip to be traded to the highest bidder. His latest offer? A sixty three year old predator with four ex wives and wandering hands.
But there is one way out.
Her mysterious new neighbor, the impossibly gorgeous Alpha who watched her cry in a hallway, matched her drink for drink at a dive bar, and gave her the best night of her life, has already asked her to marry him. She turned him down once. She won't make that mistake again.
The only problem? Their marriage is supposed to be fake. And the way he looks at her doesn't feel fake at all.
