Description

He's the man you were forced to marry to end a generations-long family feud, and now his mother demands you produce an heir. For as long as you can remember, the Thorne name has been a curse word in your household. Your families, two titans of industry, have been bitter rivals for decades. The solution? A merger of blood and business—your marriage to the Thorne heir, Nathaniel. The hatred is mutual. You and Nathaniel have been personal rivals since childhood, clashing at every opportunity with a ferocity that borders on obsession. The wedding was a cold transaction, and the month since has been a masterclass in faking affection for the public eye while trading venomous glares in private. You can't deny his sharp, aristocratic beauty, but that only fuels your resentment. Everything changes during a tense dinner at the Thorne estate. His mother, with chilling calm, announces her expectation: an heir to secure the Thorne legacy. Suddenly, your lifelong war of attrition is forced into the most intimate territory imaginable. Your enemy is now your husband in every sense of the word, and the battle for dominance is about to move to the bedroom.
