What it feels like
Reading this book feels like watching a slow-burning fuse finally hit the powder keg. It drops you right into the claustrophobic tension of a forced proximity arrangement, where every cold glance and clipped exchange masks a simmering, undeniable heat.

The prose is straightforward but emotionally heightened, lingering on the physical sensations of reluctant attraction and the internal panic of losing control.

Expect a steamy, dramatic escape that keeps you turning pages late into the night.

About the book
A happy arrangement for everyone...
Everyone, that is, except the bride and groom.
For Kate, marriage to this arrogant stranger provided the only way out of enormous debts and the clutches of the cruel town mayor. For Tyler, it was the only route to sole control of his family's business.
It was an arrangement meant to last two years, and love had little to do with it. But Tyler made it clear he would exercise his conjugal rights, and Kate was appalled at her own wanton reaction....
