Rule #1: Never mix business with the heat of the Guyanese jungle. Amara Walters has always preferred the cold certainty of contract law to the chaos of Christmas. She's worked too hard for her corner office, and she's not about to let a little thing like holiday cheer—or a pesky eviction notice—ruin her shot at Senior Partner. Her target: a remote, valuable plot of land, currently occupied by one frustratingly handsome man. Julian Da Silva, a wealthy heir who traded his family's gold mine millions for a quiet life flying charters and raising his daughter, Melita, wants nothing to do with Amara's legal threats. He's possessive, fiercely protective, and accustomed to controlling everything in his domain—from the wild rivers to the airstrip. When an unexpected storm traps the cynical lawyer and the rugged single dad in a rustic cabin, their professional hostility explodes into a consuming, forbidden desire. Julian sees past Amara's tailored suits to the woman underneath, claiming her with an intense, obsessive passion she can't resist. But the real threat isn't the jungle or the weather. It's the multi-billion-dollar secret that links them, and the betrayal that will force Amara to choose between the ambition she craves and the Alpha who has claimed her heart.

She wants him gone. But fate has other plans. Content Warning: This story contains scenes of betrayal, emotional manipulation, violence, and intense romantic tension. For mature readers only.

And just months before their third anniversary, Jessica makes a heartbreaking decision. She’s fallen in love with her husband—and she’s sure he’ll never love her back. Rather than suffer in silence, she disappears without a word, returning to her homeland and leaving their carefully constructed world in ruins. What she doesn’t know is that she broke Mark’s heart too. Now, for the first time, Mark must confront the truth he’s been running from: he’s in love with his wife. And he’ll cross oceans, shatter expectations, and defy his own rules to prove it. Because this marriage was never just a contract. It was fate.
