When ambition meets desire, nothing is off limits.
Kaito Neuenfeldt is a ruthless businessman who never plays by anyone else's rules, and he never marries for love. But when his fiercest competitor, Jeremiah Aguaviva, proposes an outrageous deal, marry his daughter, Hyara Aguaviva, and inherit his entire empire, Kaito is intrigued.
Hyara, graceful, intelligent, and fiercely independent, has always lived in the shadow of her father's world. She never expected that the mysterious, magnetic man she only knew by reputation would enter her life and her heart with such force.
As Kaito steps into her world under the guise of a personal assistant, the boundaries of business, family loyalty, and desire begin to blur. What starts as a strategic arrangement slowly ignites into something dangerously irresistible, and both are forced to question what they truly want-and how far they're willing to go to get it.
A tale of power, passion, and temptation, The Marriage Bargain explores the intoxicating collision between control and surrender, love and ambition.

He intensified his assault, sucking me dry. "Adam... I'm close," I gasped, my voice thick with desire. He paused, his eyes locking onto mine.
