After being forced to marry a man she didn’t know to save her father’s gambling business, Cassie thought her life would end badly. She had no choice, as her father threatened to stop paying for her sick mother’s treatment. Therefore, she decided to accept everything, even though she knew her life would change from what she had dreamed of. At the very least, she knew her bad days would begin because she was marrying the man who had lent her father money. However, she was wrong. Nothing changed in her life. The marriage was only a married-on paper that meant nothing; her husband didn’t even show up on their wedding day, as if the marriage was completely unimportant. They signed the marriage documents separately as if it were just a fake marriage. She never meets him, but they have an agreement that she must agree to if she doesn’t want him to destroy her father’s business. However, that was all that happened. After the wedding, she still lived with her mother and continued her previous life. A year after her marriage, Cassie applied for a job at a big company that brought many changes to her life. And from there, everything changed. What if her new job leads her into a shocking life? What if Cassie discovers that her boss is a cold-blooded mafia leader who is willing to kill with his gun on his hands? And what if she finds out that her ruthless boss is her husband, whom she has never met? *** “Did you keep my wife’s identity? I need her photo on something. I think she just applied for a job at my company without knowing that I am her husband.”~Christopher Drew Alexavier

"Did you really think you could run from me forever.....after the way I touched you that night?" he growled, his hands pinning her wrists above her head, eyes dark with intensity as they drank her in. "You were mine from the second I touched you....and no amount of time or distance will change that." Her breath hitched. She hated the way her body remembered him—how his voice alone could shatter her defenses. His touch burned through the fabric of time, pulling at memories she’d fought to bury. Every word he spoke sent a shiver down her spine, curling heat in places she’d sworn had long gone numb. But it wasn’t just desire. It was fear. Fear of what he made her feel. Fear of the truth she hadn’t told him. Fear that if she let him in again, she might never find the strength to walk away. As the past and old enemies resurface and buried secrets begin to unravel, Kimberly is forced to confront the past she tried so hard to forget. But with every truth revealed, the danger grows—and so does the temptation to fall again. Caught between betrayal, obsession, and a love that refuses to die, Kimberly must fight to protect the one thing she swore to keep safe. Because some sins don't stay buried. And some passions are impossible to escape.
