Ever since she was a child, Stephanie had felt Paul Jake's deep-seated hatred toward her-a resentment she never understood. He never hid his disdain, making it clear that she would never be part of his family. Yet, despite his coldness, she couldn't stop herself from loving him.
Bound by an agreement she couldn't refuse, Stephanie must marry Paul Jake-the man who despises her-at the request of the very person who raised and protected her. She knows he loathes the arrangement, but in the end, he stands to benefit from it more than she does.
"You will just warm my bed at night. That's the only purpose you will have in my life."
His cruel words cut deep, but Stephanie accepts them without protest. If being his wife-his bed warmer wife-is the only way to stay close to him, then so be it. She's willing to endure his hatred, if only to love him in the only way she can.
