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

A meeting with Theo had already been scheduled. Yet, I couldn’t sit still. 


Throughout the goddamn meeting, my foot tapped rhythmically against the marble floor beneath the table, a nervous tick I didn’t bother to suppress.

The image of him standing close to her—too close—burned behind my eyes like acid. Why the hell was he still looming around her? I had warned him. I had made it crystal clear that if he didn’t stay the fuck away from Ava, I’d leave him blind and crawling on the floor. And yet, there he was, still hovering like a vulture.
