I accepted his job offer just to pay off the debt my cheating Ex left me with … not to end up married to my brother’s bosshole best friend. Cora never thought working for her brother’s best friend—Griffin Blake—would flip her world upside down. He’s always been cold, bossy, and way too attractive for his own good. She can’t stand him… and yet, she can’t stop thinking about him either. One night at a company retreat changes everything. A few too many drinks. A dance that got too close. A kiss that felt way too real. And then—she wakes up in his bed. With a marriage certificate. Neither of them remembers saying “I do,” but now they’re stuck in a situation neither of them expected. Cora wants out. Griffin wants control. And their chemistry? It’s getting harder to ignore. But as secrets from the past begin to surface, and feelings start to get real, Cora realizes this might be more than just a drunken mistake. Because falling for the wrong man was never part of the plan… and Griffin Blake might just be the biggest risk of all. ***** Warning : 18+ only Contains Explicit Scenes And Adult Languages featuring hard-core taboo, s*x with brothers best friend and young adults erotica

I was Lonnie Vaughn's fiancée, yet he treated me with disdain, looking at me as though I was nothing more than a bothersome obligation. To outsiders, I was just a caged songbird he kept for amusement—disposable when he tired of me. I refused to believe it. In my eyes, Lonnie loved me, too; he was just terrible at expressing it. But that illusion shattered when I became the victim of face-swapping. When those filthy videos were played in front of Lonnie, he refused to listen to my desperate explanations. When I was kidnapped, he refused to pay the ransom. All because his maid sneered, "Olivia's tainted. She needs to be taught a lesson." Lonnie responded, "I never want to see you again in this lifetime." Those words fueled the captors' cruelty. For three months, they tortured me. By the end, I truly was tainted, and my love for Lonnie was buried beneath layers of ash and despair. Then Lonnie appeared before me while sobbing in regret, begging me to love him again.
