Azir Creed inherited more than power when his father, Azion Creed, took his last breath. He inherited a name built on blood, fear, and loyalty, along with one final demand: marry the woman chosen for him to secure the Creed legacy. But Azir lives by his own rules, never staying in the same bed twice and refusing to give up the bachelor life for a marriage he never asked for. Then he meets his supposed wife, and walking away stops feeling so simple. Roxanne St. James was never raised to be soft. After her older brother's death, she became the sole heir to her father's empire, trained to protect herself, run a business, and command men who thought power belonged only to them. When her father proposes a marriage alliance with the Creed family, Roxanne agrees out of obligation, expecting nothing more than a cold business arrangement. What she gets is Azir Creed. Their marriage is not love at first sight. It is war, temptation, pride, and power colliding under one roof. Azir refuses to be controlled, and Roxanne was born to make men kneel. But in a world where family names are protected with blood and loyalty is tested through violence, neither of them can afford to back down. Before the Creed brothers became legends, there was Azir and Roxanne: the toxic beginning of the dynasty, and the love story that built the Creed name. (This novella can be read before or after the Creed Family Ties series, but is best read first.)
