I never planned to say yes to a man who looks at love like a battlefield. My dream job painted a target on my back -and Carter Mitchell, an ex-marine and the brooding head of security, has one solution to keep me marry him. Only to protect me and keep his cover intact. I’m supposed to play the perfect wife and ignore the fire between us, but every brush of his hands, every claiming look makes it impossible to pretend this isn’t real... moreI never planned to say yes to a man who looks at love like a battlefield. My dream job painted a target on my back -and Carter Mitchell, an ex-marine and the brooding head of security, has one solution to keep me marry him. Only to protect me and keep his cover intact. I’m supposed to play the perfect wife and ignore the fire between us, but every brush of his hands, every claiming look makes it impossible to pretend this isn’t real. Carter says his scars make him unworthy-that this is just a job. But jobs don’t growl your name in the dark and curl around you when you’re sleeping. And jobs don’t hiss wife like it’s theirs and theirs alone. He doesn’t realize the real danger—the way he looks at me when he thinks I’m asleep, the possessive edge in his voice, the cracks forming in his walls. This marriage may be an act, but giving him my heart could cost me more than I’m willing to risk… including the only man who could keep me breathing. less
