“You keep testing my limits, Claire. Do I need to remind you again that I do NOT share?” “I do remember our one-night-stand quite well. You’re improving… husband.” I smirked as his annoyance grew from calling our trysts a one-night-stand but you can’t blame me… I enjoy what comes after. ___________________ He never wanted a wife. Now, he’ll do anything to keep her. Claire was given no choice— To marry Nathan Shaw, a man who despised her before they even met. Cast aside and humiliated, she refuses to be a forgotten pawn in his world. With a new identity and the world’s attention at her feet, she becomes the one thing he never expected—untouchable. As they indulge in secret trysts in corridors and steamy encounters in Nathan’s bed, their passion fuels a dangerous tension that blurs the lines between love and lust. But when Nathan finally decides he wants her, it’s too late. Claire has other suitors, other options… and a dangerous game waiting. What happens when the fire between them burns too bright to control? When the lines between hate and desire blurs and they step into a cocoon where every secret meeting and every lingering kiss raises the stakes—and the heat. Will he win back the woman he never fought for? Or will his biggest mistake be the one thing he can never undo?
