She wants nothing to do with the life her parents have planned for her-especially not the arranged marriage to Xander Ashford, a successful CEO who plays the part of the charming playboy but hides a cold, controlled heart.

But when his parents threaten to disinherit him if he doesn't marry, Xander has no choice but to accept the deal.
