From The Publisher:

Till Death Do Us Part.

My father has a lot of enemies, and after his terminal diagnosis, he has to marry me off to someone powerful enough to protect me after he's gone. He chooses Maverick De Ville-a man that terrifies me. Rich and handsome, he doesn't need an arranged marriage, but he does need something from my father-and marrying me is the only way to get it. We equally detest the situation-but there's no other option.

He's not what I pictured for my husband. He's cold, calloused, and cruel. He rules his men with an iron first. He says very little, especially to me. But he's made one thing very clear. " When people look into the darkness, they see shadows, but I see monsters. And I kill the monsters that hunt my sheep ." His job is to protect me-and he does that very well.

But the longer I spend time with this enigmatic man…the more I like him. My wellbeing is his first priority, and he supports me in every way imaginable. He's the foundation where I stand. He's the eyes in the back of my head. The wolf that protects me. And then he becomes the man in my bed…

We agreed this was a business arrangement with no emotional attachment and he's committed to upholding those terms. I thought feeling nothing for my husband would be easy, but I find myself falling for him with every passing day. Now I want something more than a marriage.

I want love.
