I paid to have her once. Now, I’ll risk it all to have her forever. The first time I saw her, she was an innocent. An untouched beauty offering herself up to the highest bidder. I told myself I was only bidding to keep her safe. To protect her from men who would shatter her innocence without a second thought. If I’d had any idea who she was, any idea what defiling her would mean for my future, I might have walked away without ever touching her. But I didn’t. And now the secrets we’ve kept threaten to unravel both of our lives. Having her the first time cost me nothing but money. Keeping her… could cost me everything.

A forced marriage. A fragile truce. A burning desire. The first time I met Brianna was at the altar. I expected to loathe her. She was the daughter of the crime boss threatening the lives of my family, but there was something in her eyes that told me I wasn't the only victim here. She’s terrified of me, ignorant of the fact I won’t—can’t—lay a hand on her, let alone consummate the marriage. Even so, her vulnerability draws me closer, awakening something dangerous lying dormant within me. And then there's him. The hitman-turned-bodyguard who shadows her every move. Roman is as lethal as he is playful. He flirts with Brianna like it’s a game, pushing my buttons until I’m ready to snap. He stokes my fire, never knowing that the two of them together is the very thing I crave. Part of me wants to wipe that shameless smile off his face… And part of me burns with the desire to follow them to the bedroom and watch. 🌊 MMF romance 💜 Marriage of convenience 🌊 Enemies to lovers 💜 Virgin hero 🌊 Grumpy and two sunshines Number of NSFW scenes: Seven Burn: Slow Happy ever after: Yes Standalone: Yes MM scenes: Yes
