"Apologize!” Ethan coughed repeatedly. “My wife is the one who deserves your apology, it’s her forgiveness that you need!” “I told you, you’re mine now, and I will not let anyone hurt you. I’ll get them to apologize on their knees”. --- Jane Fitzergald, a 22-year-old medical student and the illegitimate daughter of the Harrison family, was forced to take her half-sister’s place as a substitute bride to the eldest son of the Harrington family, Ethan, a deformed cripple with less than 6 months to live.

"That dress is a problem." He closes the distance in two steps. "Take it off or I’ll do it for you. We both know I’m not bluffing." He was my dad’s best friend. Until he vanished. Now he’s my boss… and the one man I’m not supposed to want. When I walk into Ryder Vane’s office, resume in hand, I don’t expect him to recognize me. He doesn’t. Not the little girl he once read bedtime stories to. Not the daughter of the man he betrayed. Not the secret I’ve been keeping since the night everything fell apart. Ryder is Hollywood royalty—brilliant, commanding, impossible to ignore. And he just hired me as his assistant. I wanted distance. Closure. Maybe a little revenge. What I didn’t plan on was the sparks. The stolen glances. The late nights that blur the lines between right and ruin. He’s twice my age. My dad’s ex–best friend. And completely off-limits. But secrets don’t stay buried in this town. And when the past comes crashing back with a stalker’s note and a kiss I can’t take back… The biggest scandal won’t be what’s in the tabloids. It’ll be what’s in my heart.
