Della March has always been mine, and there was only one man she was ever going to marry. .. Me. The catch? She doesn't know who I am. Yet. When her life is threatened, I have no choice but to take her, rescue her from the man who claims to love his daughter and the monster he promised her to. To keep her safe, she's to marry me instead. Except she wants nothing to do with me, the only indication of our marriage is a piece of paper and the ring wrapped around her finger. Making her my wife is easy, but making her fall in love with me is going to be the fight of my life, but one I'm prepared to die for. Della. Trust no one. .. I've drilled those three words into my head for as long as I can remember, which is exactly the reason I don't trust Gage Hudson. I never thought my life would turn out this way, that I'd be walking down the aisle to the son of my father's enemy, and I never expected to want to, but the more time that passes by, I'm slowly but surely drowning in him. Every kiss consumes me, every touch has me wanting more, and the longer that ring is on my finger, the more it seems to belong there. As it turns out, our pasts are connected, and we've been written in the stars long before I learned what it meant to fall in love, and the last thing I ever anticipated was falling for my husband.

Becoming a single dad with sole custody to a daughter I knew nothing about is something I did not see coming. I don't know the first thing about taking care of a child, I can barely take care of myself. Enter, Reese Reynolds, a devil woman sent from hell to torture me. I shouldn't have touched her. She's the epitome of temptation with a body built for a sinner like me. Hiring her as my daughter's Nanny seemed like a good idea at the time, but the longer I'm around her, it's clear that one touch of her skin, one taste of her lips will never be enough. Reese. Rafe Hudson is everything I shouldn't want, and if I had any sense, I'd steer well clear, but I've never been the best at making good life choices. On the brink of eviction and struggling to keep my head above water, when Rafe offers me a job to help take care of his daughter in exchange for a place to stay, it's an offer I can't pass up. It was only supposed to be temporary job until his daughter got settled. Falling for him was never an option, and what starts out as a harmless arrangement between friends, turns into a passion neither of us can ignore.

I've been consumed by the darkness ever since, lost to the memory of the monsters lurking in the shadows, the ghost of their brutal touches still lingering on my skin, the scars they left behind a constant reminder of what they did... moreSierra. Two months ago I was kidnapped. Taken away from my family and plunged into a literal living nightmare. They cut. They bruised. They stole away my innocence and laughed while they did it, assaulting not only my body but my mind too.
