Palpable Liver Edge

I've been in a coma for six months after a car accident. When I finally wake up, the first thing I hear is something sloppy in my hospital ward. My girlfriend, Quinn Simpson, is in here. She's kissing Chad Scott, her true love. Chad looks uneasy as he glances at me every few seconds. "Quinn, don't do this. I heard coma patients can still hear things. If Mateo hears us—" Quinn scoffs, completely unbothered. "So what? He's a vegetable. Probably won't wake up for the rest of his life. It's better this way, isn't it? Didn't you say you liked living on the edge?" They talk trash about me right in front of my face. I can even feel the contempt in Quinn's eyes. When the two of them finally leave, they don't notice the effort it takes for me to crack my eyes open. But the nurse who walks in next does. She sees it immediately and slams the emergency button. Once I start regaining strength, the first thing I do is send a message to my parents. "Mom, Dad, I'll do the arranged marriage."

He made her an offer she couldn’t refuse: one month of her body in exchange of money. But Isabella didn’t know that Kade wasn’t a guy who honored boundaries.

To make her forget who she was before he came into the picture. “You’re mine to touch, no one else’s,” he growled, his voice dark and commanding, igniting a fire she’d never felt before. What began as a desperate deal soon turned into a dangerous obsession. Will Isabella lose her heart to a bad boy like Kade or refuse to let Kade claim her?
