He announced our engagement before I even knew his name.
My life was turned upside down the night a stranger stood before a room of powerful people and said that I was his fiancée.
My father did nothing.
Now I belong to Endo Macarley.
At least until he gets what he wants:
his brother’s freedom.
I’m his collateral.
And his house is a prison of marble and menace.
Every corner hums with danger,
and it always finds me.
But the more I fight him, the more those lines between hatred and something far more dangerous blur.
Because the scariest part isn’t that he took me.
It’s that I’m not sure I want him to let me go.
* this enemies-to-lovers dark romance, where both characters are over 30, contains dark themes, suspense, and an unapologetic villain.
Tropes:
enemies-to-lovers
Morally grey hero
imposed engagement
close proximity
opposites attract
Genre: Romantic Suspense
