He married me for revenge. I married him for survival. Neither of us expected to fall in love. One year ago, my father destroyed Alexander Hawthorne's life. Stole his company. Ruined his reputation. Left him with nothing. Now Alexander is a billionaire, and my father is dead. I'm working three jobs, my mother is dying of cancer, and I have nowhere left to turn. That's when Alexander appears with an offer I can't refuse: Marry me for one year. I'll pay for your mother's treatment. All of it. The catch? He wants revenge. I'm just the weapon. "Your father took everything from me," he says, his eyes cold as ice. "Now you'll pay his debt." I should hate him. I do hate him. But when he looks at me like that—like I'm both his biggest mistake and his darkest desire—I forget why I'm supposed to resist. This marriage is fake. The contract is real. But the way he touches me? That's dangerously real. One year. That's all we agreed to. So why does forever suddenly feel possible? READ CHAPTER 1 NOW!

My family's enemy. He sat down at my station and said five words that changed everything: "I have a proposition for you." I should have run. Instead, I listened. And twelve hours later, I was Mrs. Alexander Hawthorne. Click to read how revenge became the greatest love story I never saw coming...
