Bree

Ava thought her life couldn't get worse after being sold into marriage to save her family-until her fiancé faked his death, leaving her trapped in a marriage with his father. Now, she's forced into a marriage with the same man who betrayed her, the infuriatingly handsome Orion, who wants nothing to do with her... or so he claims.  

But danger is never far. Orion's vengeful mistress, Chloe, is determined to ruin Ava's life, while the charming and mysterious Mason offers her an escape-but at what cost? As shocking truths unravel and Chloe shows up pregnant for Orion, Ava must navigate a deadly game of love, lies, and betrayal.  

Will Ava flee for her freedom and life, or will the lies and betrayal surrounding Orion destroy her once and for all? Can Orion reclaim his bride?

Reclaiming His Bride

The drive felt endless. The silence was a battlefield, each second dragging like a weight on my chest. Orion’s eyes flicked to me now and then, his gaze piercing, full of unspoken words. I kept my focus on the window, watching the landscape blur past, my mind racing. 


"Chloe at the airport?" I finally broke the silence, voice sharp. "You must think I'm as naïve as you are arrogant." 


Orion smirked, but there was no warmth in it. "You underestimate her. She doesn’t give up that easily." 


"And you don’t understand boundaries," I shot back, meeting his gaze head-on. "But Holly just gave you a lesson in them. Did it sting?" 


He leaned closer, his voice low, dangerous. "Careful, Ava. Don’t mess with me. I swear, I’ll teach you a lesson you won’t forget in a hurry." 


I didn’t flinch. "Maybe I really want to be taught a lesson then."
