Deadly Serious

Raine had a second chance at life when she was reborn as a wealthy heiress. She had a plan: to save the man of her dreams from his tragic fate and make him hers. She proposed to him with a bold offer. "Marry me. You can escape from your stalker and have a virgin bride. It’s not bad, isn’t it?" She vowed to protect him and avenge his previous death. She didn't mind being in a fake marriage, or so she thought. But he was not the prince charming she imagined. He was a seductive temptation that she couldn't resist. "I'm not the sweet candy you think I am, honey. No, I'm not…" Would she be able to break free from his thorny embrace? He was intrigued by the first woman who dared to ask him to marry her with such a serious expression. Kai was a famous star, and women adored his charisma and beauty. He agreed to her proposal and planned to use this innocent heiress for his own purposes. No strings attached. But he was tempted. His wife was too enticing to resist. "You walked into my trap, Raine. Don't blame me if I can't get enough of you." Could they find love in their web of lies? What secrets was Kai hiding from her? Would Raine's love be able to heal Kai's wounds? Could their contract marriage turn into a real romance?

I go to the city where my online boyfriend, Logan Wright, lives to surprise him without telling him first. Instead, I overhear him talking with his friends. "So what if her voice is nice? She's probably ugly as hell if she's reluctant to even send a picture. If the hottest girl on campus hadn't turned me down, I wouldn't even bother messing around with someone like her. "Not only is she ugly, but she's also horny as hell. She keeps saying she has to see what I'm packing down there before we even meet." One of his friends snickers. "So did you show her?" Logan let out a low grunt in agreement. "But it wasn't mine. It was Troy's." His friend blurts, "What the hell? Troy Levine? Your roommate? You said he was at least eight inches. Were you serious?" "Of course. Why would I lie to you? Troy is a real bro. Seeing that I didn't want to send that kind of picture, he offered to do it for me." They freeze for a second, then all burst out laughing. I laugh too. I've heard of body doubles in Showbiz. This is the first time I've seen a body double in online romance. I want every detail on Troy, and I want them in the next three minutes!
