Reluctant Bride
Dawson Sullivan
I married the rival heiress I never stopped loving—and she still hasn’t forgiven me.
Eight years. That’s how long I’ve lived with the mistake that cost me Sage Blackwater.
She was my secret first love. My enemy’s daughter. The one woman I was stupid enough to let go.
Now we’re forced into marriage to stop a war between our families.
Her contract says separate bedrooms. This is going to be a living hell.
Then she defends me when everyone else thinks I’m guilty. Her photographs start coming from across the hall. One midnight phone call wrecks my control.
A night in her bed, and I’m imagining her against every damn surface in the house.
By the time we choose this marriage for ourselves, I’m ruined for her—and she’s choosing me too.
Then witnesses die. Records burn. Someone frames our families—and comes for Sage.
Touch my wife and the cowboy disappears.
So they kidnap me to get to her.
They know exactly how lethal I am.
They don’t know what my wife becomes when they threaten her husband.
