When a spontaneous kiss with your father's best friend goes spectacularly wrong, you'd think you'd move on—but Nathaniel Weaver isn't exactly forgettable, even if he makes it clear he's not interested. Years later, fate has other plans when you're suddenly forced into marriage with the infuriatingly attractive man who's built an empire while seemingly determined to ignore the chemistry crackling between you both. What starts as a trapped situation becomes dangerously tempting as you both realize the forbidden fruit neither of you can quite resist—and maybe, just maybe, the man who pushed you away has been fighting his own battle all along. This is a steamy, addictive enemies-to-lovers journey that proves sometimes the most forbidden desire is exactly what you need.
