235 Days With My Ex

Have you ever sworn you'd never ask someone for anything again? Especially your ex. Especially the one who lied to you.

I did.

He tore my heart open and walked away, leaving silence where love used to live. I promised myself I'd rather bleed than ever kneel before him again.

But desperation rewrites vows.

My parents want to marry me off-to my sister's widower. A man obsessed with turning me into her replacement. A man who doesn't hear no.

There was only one man powerful enough, and cruel enough, to stop him.

The man I hate. The man I crave. The only person who can save me is the one who destroyed me first.

^^^^^^

They didn't break up because love died. They broke up because the truth was never spoken.

Alejandro comes back richer and colder, stripped of the boy she loved. He buys her workplace as revenge, convinced that Rhea is the villain in their story-the woman who ruined him and walked away without looking back.

But seeing her again cracks something he never healed from.

Caught in a corner by her family and hunted by a man who wants to replace her dead sister with her, Rhea is out of options.

She offers herself to Alejandro; a fake marriage to keep Owen at bay.

Alejandro agrees. Not out of mercy-but because vengeance tastes better when it's served up close. And the dark, unshakable need to ensure she belongs to no one but him.

Rhea quickly realizes that being Alejandro's "property" might be more dangerous than being Owen's prey. But if she has to be consumed by a fire, she'd rather it be his.

A marriage built on a lie. A past that refuses to stay buried. And a love story that was never truly finished.
