In the era where swords rule, where women consider their modesty their greatest virtue. Where a man would kill to find his wife warming another mans bed, a time when women would consider it the greatest of adultery or fornication to warm a bed other than her husbands. A time when an honorable man guards his gaze, for his gaze is solely for his wife alone, as well as his heart. He's feared, ruthless, cold, heartless, manipulative, cunning, a rake. Or so they assume... She's beautiful yet silent, not by a defect, she simply dislikes to mingle with gossip.Yet she has emotional scars that no one sees behind her smile, but a few.

The silent yearning
Juliette never imagined she'd marry Tristan Sinclair-the man she spent a lifetime loving from afar. But when tragedy strikes, duty binds them together in a marriage neither of them chose. Once, he was the boy who unknowingly held her heart. Now, he's a man hardened by grief, distant and unreadable. Juliette wears her scars beneath long sleeves and forced smiles, while Tristan buries his behind cold indifference. In a house filled with ghosts, their silence is a war of its own. But the past has a way of creeping back in. A glimpse of old wounds. A rare crack in his armor. A touch that lingers too long. Tension simmers, coiled between resentment and something far more dangerous. And when the truth finally shatters the walls between them, love may not be enough to heal what's already broken. Some scars never fade. Some pasts refuse to stay buried. And some vows are written in pain rather than love. But maybe-just maybe-this time, they can rewrite their ending. Spoiler : not everyone get their happy ending. # Forced marriage # Slow-Burn Romance # Secret past & trauma # Strong heroine # Emotional depth # cold heroComplete

To Wed the Wicked
She was supposed to be safe. He was supposed to be sensible. Neither planned on falling. ✧ Everyone agrees that the plain, wealthy Lady Noelle Hathaway is perfect for marriage. Sensible. Dutiful. Modest. The kind of woman men marry after their daring escapades in youth tire them. She's a stickler for rules and propriety. She'd rather tend to her roses than ruffle society's feathers. Which was precisely why Viscount Radley, now the new Lord Windmere, needed to marry her. A charming rogue, he lives for the chase. No woman has kept his attentions for long, and that's how he's always preferred it. No attachments. No tears. But then his father's will forces him into marriage, where he must be wed for six months or risk the estate being sold. So he comes up with a scheme for a temporary wife. And who better than Lady Hathaway? She's safe territory. Boring, even. With his rakish past and scandal-laden reputation, marrying her is the obvious, sensible choice. She would never stir his heart. Until she starts interfering with her old-fashioned opinions. Until those sad eyes unsettle him more than a thousand strings of reckless adventures ever did. Until he realises that she is temptation wrapped in propriety. Now he is discovering that the quiet ones burn with fire the brightest, and the hardest hearts fall the fastest.![The Billion Dollar Affair [#7]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/54577871-256-k2777.jpg)
The Billion Dollar Affair [#7]
Tristan couldn't help but chuckle. "Is that what it is? You want a fairy tale love?" "And some great sex." "I thought I was giving you that." There was a spark in her eyes that could have either been disappointment or lust. Tristan knew it was both in that moment. "I need more than just fifteen minutes every Friday night." "It used to be everyday." She nodded, as if she could remember every sexual encounter from the moment they met to this very one now. "I want the thrill of possibly getting caught. I want to be fucked, Tristan. This is the first night we're alone in this house in weeks, and you haven't even tried to fuck me." He stood, walked over to her, and pulled her against the erection in his pants, teasing her erected nipple beneath her thin t-shirt. "You didn't think I would bend you over and fuck you anywhere I'd like?"Complete
