“You know, dove. Whenever I’ve envisioned you screaming out my name, I had never thought it would be like this,” he drawled.
Daphne Sullivan entered Blackwood Inc. with the hopes of getting a job. Fresh out of graduate school, Daphne is interviewed by one of the country's most eligible bachelors and heir to the Blackwood fortune. She is instantly drawn to him like a moth to a flame but the Blackwood Heir is not a man to be trifled with. 
Alistair Blackwood first notices the engagement ring on Daphne’s finger and decided at that very moment he needed to know who she was. Having been forced into an arranged marriage at a young age, Blackwood never had the chance to find real love. The closer he works with Daphne, the more he discovers just how badly he needs her and he always gets what he wants. Cost what it may.
A relationship built on secrets and expensive deals—is a happily ever after even possible?

The Blackwood Heir

Over the next two days, it appeared that Daphne had taken Alistair’s daring request to heart. Each morning she had gotten out of bed and readied herself for whatever he had planned out for them. She was showering, dressing herself, and eating normally as though nothing between them had changed since the wedding ceremony. 


It wasn’t certain if Daphne had gotten over what Rowan had put her through or if this was her trying to live in sheer denial of it ever happening. 


Either way, Blackwood took this new form of normalcy for what it was. 


Ever since the day they had spoken outside of the jewelry shop, the conversation of ‘marriage’ and ‘wedding’ hadn’t popped up since. It was both a blessing and a slight deterrent for Alistair. 


The two were able to peacefully coexist in the stunning villa and move about as the pleased; however, it wasn’t enough for Blackwood.
