SIX MONTHS UNDER HIS MARK

Klappentext

Lyra Vance was three weeks from marrying the quarterback she built. Then she opened his bedroom door. Cade was in bed with her sister. On the wedding sheets. With his championship watch on Sloane’s wrist. Lyra did not cry. She took proof and walked out. Her family chose Cade. Her firm fired her to keep him. Her money locked. A hotel turned her away. By midnight she had photos, a signed prenup, and nowhere safe to sleep. That is when Gabriel Thorne sent a car. The league calls him the Iron Heart. He hits men and feels nothing. Other women come through as static. Lyra’s voice is the first thing that reaches him, and he hates how badly he wants to keep it. His offer is ugly and clear. Six months in his house. She handles the dirt. She stands where the cameras can see her. She wears his mark when the city needs a story. Five hundred thousand. No love. No rescue. Lyra signs as his strategist. Then Sloane posts beside Cade like the wedding only changed names. Then the internet finds Lyra in Gabriel’s hoodie. Then a private lens turns toward his gates. Cade still thinks she is the girl who absorbs the mess. Gabriel did not hire that girl. He hired a weapon. Now he cannot stand anyone else looking at her.
