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 car ride back to the estate was tense, but definitely not for Orion. 


I sat back in the leather seat, my head tilted slightly as I gazed out the window. Orion sat rigid beside me, his jaw clenched as if he were waiting for me to explode, his hand resting tentatively on my thighs. 


The handcuffs still bound us, and when the chain tugged with his slightest movement, he smirked. He expected me to fume, to lash out, but I wasn’t giving him that satisfaction. 


I had agreed, even signed the damn papers just to get out of this absurd situation. But my dear husband left the keys at home. How convenient! 


I needed to put a distance between us. The closer I am to him, the more I crave him, and the more I fall into a reality I swore never to be in with him. 


How did I forget so easily that he poisoned Holly? That he arranged for me to be kidnapped? And what about Peter? How could my body betray me with these needs that I couldn’t refuse him?
