What Scarlett doesn't realize is that I don't do casual—and now that I’ve tasted her, I have no intention of ever letting her go. "A high-heat, laugh-out-loud workplace romance packed with fiery banter, shameless flirting, and a possessive hero who will burn the world down just to keep his girl."

You got married to me, and so you will always have my mark on your body and no other man's. Have I made myself clear?!" He demanded and she nodded, her tears starting to streak down her cheeks. ~. .~ Ashley West never imagined she'd be married off to a stranger, but when her sister's deception is uncovered by the man her sister was set to marry, she becomes the price for her family's freedom!
