Catalyna Jade has spent most of her life underneath her father's control. Being Damien Jade's daughter came with money and protection, but rarely the freedom to make her own choices. Especially when it came to marriage. At twenty-one, Catalyna learns she's expected to marry twenty-five-year-old Braxton Millien Kanu-a quiet, possessive, and dangerous man deeply involved in the same world her father tried to shelter her from. Neither of them chose the arrangement, and Catalyna has no intentions of making it easy. But somewhere between arguments, family secrets, dangerous business, and wedding plans, their arrangement slowly becomes something neither of them expected. They were told to get married. Nobody told them what would happen if they actually fell in love.
