“You’re blushing,” Ethan murmured, stepping in close, voice like silk and sin. “I’m not,” I snapped, even as my breath hitched. His fingers brushed my jaw. “Liar. Your skin gives you away every time.” I tried to step back, but my body didn’t move. It leaned into his heat, into the pull I kept denying. “You hate me, remember?” I whispered. His lips barely grazed mine. “Then why do your eyes beg me to kiss you?” *************** After being betrayed by her fiancé who got her sister engaged to him, Olivia is humiliated and heartbroken.

"However," he leaning forward slightly, "there is something I'd like to discuss with you." "I need a wife." His voice was steel wrapped in velvet. "And you're going to marry me." Water sprayed across the coffee table as I choked mid-sip. "I'm sorry, what?" Olivia Morgan's world is turned upside down when she walks in on her boyfriend betraying her with her friend.
