One desperate night. One dangerous contract. One husband who wants to destroy me.
I had nothing left. No scholarship, no home, and barely enough money for the medication keeping me healthy. I was sitting on a park bench, waiting for the end—until a sleek black car pulled up and offered me a lifeline.
The stranger didn’t want to help me; he wanted to buy me.
The deal? Marry his scandal-ridden son, Ethan, for eighteen months. Clean up his image for a political campaign. In exchange, I get a roof over my head and my future back.
I thought I could handle a fake marriage. I was wrong.
Ethan is arrogant, cruel, and lethally attractive. He hates that I’m here, and he makes it his mission to break me. He flaunts other women in my face, weaponizes his insults, and looks at me like I’m dirt on his shoe.
But when his best friend, Ryan, starts paying attention to me, Ethan’s hatred shifts into something darker. Something possessive. The man who tried to drive me away is suddenly watching my every move with a hunger that terrifies me.
Ethan says he hates me, but his eyes tell a different story. And in this war between pride and desire, only one of us will make it out with our heart intact.
A GLIMPSE INTO THE ARRANGEMENT...
🥀 THE HATE
“I’ve seen this act before,” Ethan sneered, his gaze piercing right through me. He was enjoying this. Watching me unravel was almost too easy for him.
“Girls like you, playing up the helpless role, trying to weasel their way into a family like mine. You can drop the act now, Lily. I’m not buying it.”
💔 THE ACHING
“Do you have any idea what it’s like to hate someone and want them at the same damn time?” He let out a harsh laugh, running a hand through his disheveled hair, the whiskey evident on his breath. “It’s fucking exhausting, Lily. You exhaust me.”
His hand tugged weakly at mine, his walls crumbling. “Stay,” he whispered, the single word wrapping around me like a command. “Just… stay.”
🔥 THE CRAVING
“You want me?” I asked, my voice a low growl against her ear.
“I want you, Ethan,” she whispered, vulnerability written across her face.
“Good.” My hands moved to the straps of her dress. “You’re going to get me—all of me—when I’m ready to give it to you. And trust me, Lily, I will.””
