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

It’s been almost a week since the night everything went down. A week of silence. A week of avoiding familiar places and faces, especially him. I haven’t stepped foot in the mansion since that night. Instead, I moved a few things into my private suite—a temporary escape, or so I tell myself. It’s quiet, peaceful, exactly what I need. 


I haven’t seen Orion once in the past six days. Good for him, and even better for me. I don’t think I could stomach looking at his smug, stupid face without feeling the urge to slap him. He doesn’t deserve my time or my thoughts, yet here I am thinking about him again. Old habits, I suppose.
