Two powerful bloodlines, a billion-dollar merger, and a marriage that was never meant to be more than a footnote until destiny and choice collide.
Leo Calder only looked away for a single second... ended up with a husband. The agony of a world where feelings are liabilities and trust is a luxury.
Kai Mercer is exactly what the headlines claim: cold, calculated, and completely unreadable behind a perfectly tailored suit. He controls the boardroom with an iron fist. While Leo, on the other hand, is the wild card-untamed and views the concept of being "controlled" as a personal insult.
Forced into a high-stakes game of playing house, they enter married life completely unprepared for the chaos ahead, barely ready to survive the hostile takeover of their own lives.
Their only job: Don't kill each other. But the only question left is, who breaks first?

In which an underground fighter in desperate need of anger management and a snarky mafia boss make a deal with an explosive reaction. ... Some people were born lucky with silver spoons in their mouths and trust funds established long before they were born; others were born with dirt underneath their fingernails, barely scraping by. Twenty-three-year-old underground fighter Linus Ward was used to the latter. Raised in the foster system and bounced from one bad situation to another, Linus learned early on that surviving wasn't a simple task but having his foster siblings did make it a lot easier. However, when Linus' foster sister got caught up in a con gone wrong, what should've been a routine identity switch and a clean getaway ended with spilled blood on her hands and a target on her back. To guarantee his sister's safety, Linus was forced to make a deal with someone as dangerous as the people hunting him: recently-named mafia boss Teodoro Raymond. A paid bodyguard position with guaranteed safety should have been a good thing. Yet, when sparks started to fly and the lines between protection and obsession blur, Linus was left to decide if he was clawing his way out of the world that's always tried to chew him up, or falling even deeper into it.Complete
