One year as Mrs. James Roth will keep her family safe from his wrath. All she has to do is play the loving wife in public... He failed to negotiate how she should behave in private.
This is a business arrangement, nothing more. Once her time is up, she'll walk away and it won't be like the last time when he broke her into little pieces. It doesn't matter that their chemistry still burns white-hot or that sometimes, she catches a glimpse of the man she once knew. That man is gone. In his place is a ruthless stranger with an appetite for revenge, a dark past, and bitter secrets he'll do anything to keep buried.
