About this book

Broken A cynical billionaire lawyer makes a devil's bargain with his father: marry the woman Dad picked, treat it like a contract, keep emotions out of it. Simple, right? Then he meets Melanie, a smart-mouthed veterinary nurse who refuses to sleep with him before marriage and somehow makes him want to break every rule he's ever made—starting with his vow never to fall in love. What begins as a business arrangement between two broken people becomes dangerously real, and when the walls come down, neither of them is prepared for the wreckage left behind. This is a searing, emotionally intense ride about two people learning that sometimes the only way to heal is to let someone in.

AI-generated synopsis

smolderingtension-filledcynicalintoxicatingvulnerable

Dark, sensual indie and R&B with brooding undertones. Moody pop with grit. Deep vocals over atmospheric production. Think slow-burn tension, walls crumbling, dangerous attraction. Cinematic and raw—where control meets surrender.
