Anna Leigh....
My father could die if I don't find a miracle soon and all the medical bills are drowning us. But I am desperate to save him even if that means I have to sell myself to the city's most ruthless billionaire.
Which is arranged by his father who in exchange for paying for all of my dad's medical expenses is asking me to marry his son for a year in the hopes of it settling him down some and perhaps warming his cold heart. But as soon as I walk down that aisle I know better...I haven't some how stepped into my own fairytale...more like my own cage.
Christian....
My father wants me to settle down. Thinks he can make me love this woman he paid to marry me. But he is so wrong. She may be beautiful. But she is unwanted. She is being forced into my life. And if she is after my money she is going to have to endure all my rules I have. For I plan to make her regret the day she signed that marriage contract.
The Arrangement.....
He treats her like an enemy. Making her fight to survive his icy walls. But in the grand empty halls of his estate the line between hatred and obsession begins to fracture. And between sharp words and breathless encounters, a dangerous truth emerges.
Christian Cartwright's touch is a beautiful cruelty....and AnnaLeigh isn't sure she wants to be saved....
