Can be read as a standalone story.
They forced us into this. A business arrangement. Two powerful families merging through marriage. I was supposed to hate her. Ingrid Ryder was everything I didn’t want. Outspoken. Intimidating.
My complete opposite. But then I saw her in that kitchen wearing nothing but a t-shirt. In that moment, everything changed. Her sharp wit became intoxicating. Her curves became an obsession.
Her independence became a challenge I couldn’t resist. But not everyone is happy with this union. And now someone’s trying to take her from me.
I’ll burn the world down before I let anyone hurt what’s mine. Especially now she’s pregnant with my son.
