In a twist of fate, Nora marries Demetri to claim her inheritance and fight those who plotted against her. But as she battles her own family and Demetri's many rivals, will she be able to keep from falling for the man known to crush people beneath his booted heel.

Excerpt:
She had forgotten that the man was intimidating and directly challenged him.

Rather than speaking, Demetri rose from his seat and approached her deliberately. Although it was a mere few steps, time seemed to stretch for Nora. When he was almost within touching distance, his hand gently landed on her knee, moving it sideways. His touch moved with a hint of a caress, and he stepped between her open legs. Nora sat there in frozen silence, her eyes wide like a deer caught in headlights.

Catching her chin between his fingers, he tilted her face upwards and spoke unhurriedly," You are my wife."

She nodded her head slowly in affirmation while his thumb slowly traced her lip. "I have given you time to gather your emotions."

Another nod. Nora's nervousness made her lick her lips, acutely aware of his intense gaze fixed upon them.

"Your reason for the marriage was to secure your inheritance and get away from under your mother's thumb."

"Yes..." Nora whispered in confusion. Her confusion was not about his statement but about the bewildering sensations coursing through her. What was happening with her?

"It's time for you to fulfil your end of the contract, yes?" He continued.

"Yes," Nora whispered breathlessly. Why was she breathless? Had the oxygen level in the house dropped? Was the air suddenly thinning?

Abruptly, his hand left her face, and she watched as he drew closer. It was then that Nora comprehended what was unfolding. All those tantalizing, heart-pounding kisses she had read about in novels were about to possibly become her reality.

But the anticipated kiss didn't happen. Instead, he paused near her and commanded, "Kiss me."

"I got you a surprise gift!" Dora hurriedly climbed onto the bed determined to wake Eleanora up immediately as she held her hand and shook her. Nora opened her eyes groggily, disoriented and tried to understand what the exuberant little girl was saying.

Dora who was bursting with excitement, quickly noticed that her sister was awake and giving the girl no time to think, she quickly started to pull her hand," Come on, come on! You have to see this quickly."

Nora, now fully awake, caught Dora in her arms and pulled the little girl into her lap as she snuggled," Nah! You are quite a gift too. I'll see what you got later, first you have to hug me for a while."

Dora, immensely pleased with her sister's hug but not ready to show it, made a face and said, "You are such a baby, stealing hugs and all. I'll hug you later, come on, let's go!"
