Nicknamed ‘Black Widow’ after the mysterious death of her second husband, the last thing twenty-four-year-old Sevyn Collier wants is to be yet another man’s wife.
It’s a title she’s carried since she was eighteen years old. One she’s ready to shed. Surely, nobody else wants her and the looming cloud of bad luck that follows her wherever she goes.
Unfortunately, what she wants and her family’s duties to The Society don’t coincide.
So, three months after burying her second husband, she’s promised to yet another man who vows to never love her. To never want her.
All she has to do is stay married for a year to qualify for her inheritance and she’s finally free. But is it really that simple?


Blaise Belaire can’t think of a better fake wife than Sevyn. The striking but silent woman will be easy to ignore, easy to live with and even easier to move on from.
All he has to do is marry her, fulfill his oath to The Society, and they can both live their lives, together but separate.
But the longer he lives with her, the more fascinated he becomes.
Sevyn is more than he expected. She unravels him without a word and brings him to his knees with a simple look.
Love was never supposed to be a part of their story.
All his life, he watched love make a fool of people and vowed to never let it trap him.
That was before he met his wife.
She’s his obsession and salvation. It happened without his permission.
Now he just has to figure out how to make her stay. But is he too late?
