The Bride I Never WantedOne betrayal. One reckless decision. One deadly mistake.The night before my wedding, I found my fiancé in bed with my maid of honor. Heartbroken and humiliated, I did what any rational woman would do—I ran. What I didn't expect was to find a stranger on a bridge, seconds from jumping. A woman being forced to marry a monster. A mafia boss named Dante Castellano who killed without mercy and ruled without conscience.In my shattered state, I made her an offer: I'd take her place. One ceremony. One night. Then we'd both disappear and start over.I thought I was saving her life.I didn't know about the blood oath. The binding that couldn't be broken. The centuries-old tradition that would chain me to Dante until death—mine or his.Now I'm trapped in a world of violence and secrets, married to a man who's as dangerous as he is magnetic. A man whose cold grey eyes see too much. Who touches me like he owns me. Who's starting to suspect his bride isn't who she claims to be.Dante Castellano doesn't forgive deception.And I just became his wife under the biggest lie of all.They say you should be careful what you wish for when your life falls apart. They're right. Because I wished for escape, and instead, I got a beautiful nightmare in an Italian suit.Now I have two choices: make him believe I'm his perfect wife, or die trying.He wanted a convenient bride. He got me instead. God help us both.

BLURBI made a deal with the devil—seduce Tyler Clarks, break his heart, collect my payment, and disappear.Easy money for a desperate scholarship student like me. One fake relationship with the campus's coldest billionaire heir, and I'd finally escape to the life I've always dreamed of.But Tyler didn't fall for my act. He saw right through me from day one.And when he finally made me his? That's when I realized I'd walked straight into a trap I never saw coming."You're mine now, Blair. And I don't let go of what belongs to me."He tracks my every move. Threatens anyone who looks at me. Calls me his pet and expects me to obey. The penthouse he moved me into isn't a home—it's a gilded prison, and Tyler Clarks is the beautiful monster holding the key.I should hate him. I should run.So why does my traitorous heart race every time those dark eyes lock onto mine? Why do I crave the intensity of his touch even when I know it's destroying me?When my secret gets exposed and scandal tears through campus, I finally break free. But Tyler isn't the type to accept defeat. He'll lie, manipulate, and burn down the world to get me back.The question is—do I want to be saved? Or have I already fallen for the man who was supposed to be my biggest mistake?One fake relationship. One dangerous obsession. One choice that will change everything.
