Ava Brooks swore she’d never love again after Ethan broke her heart and forgot she ever existed. To save her brother’s life, she traded her freedom to Noah Campbell—the ruthless, panty-dropping billionaire with a playboy rep that could make the city blush. Whispers say he’s fucked his way through every bed in town, but Ava’s the one he drags into his, locking her in a marriage she didn’t want. She planned to stay ice-cold, a ghost under his sheets, until his wicked hands pinned her down, his lips burning her skin, proving the rumors are bullshit—he only craves her. When Ethan struts back with his smug fiancée Harper, Ava’s world catches fire—Harper mocks her, coffee stains her pride, but Noah’s not here for games. He storms in, possessive as sin, claiming her with every searing touch, every dark, hungry stare, showing the world she’s his obsession. Behind that bad-boy mask, a fierce love binds her tight—body and soul. Caught between a past she can’t reclaim and a man who’s all hers despite the lies, Ava’s falling fast. Will she run from the heat of his desire, or melt into the forever he’s dead-set on giving her?
