Summary
A marriage born from convenience… becomes the love he never expected.
From the bestselling author of The Wrong Bride and Forever After All comes a steamy, angsty marriage-of-convenience romance featuring a billionaire CEO and his devoted secretary.
When Luca Windsor is pushed into an unwanted engagement by his powerful family, disaster strikes again — his secretary suddenly quits. Two major problems.
One dangerous, tempting solution.
He secretly marries his secretary, Valentina.
Their arrangement comes with three simple rules:
-
Don’t fall in love
-
Keep the marriage a secret at work
-
Share a bed every night
It was supposed to be clean, practical, mutually beneficial. But as days turn into nights and nights blur into longing, Luca realizes something terrifying:
The one thing Valentina wants… is the one thing he can’t bear to do.
Let her go.
A steamy, emotional story of secret marriage, slow-burn passion, and a billionaire who falls hopelessly for the woman he thought he could never have.
