The Marriage Bet

Rafe Montclair is the ruthless billionaire about to destroy my company. The only way to stop it? Become his wife and pretend to love the man I hate. He's tall, charming, and speaks three languages. But where I value craftsmanship, he shuts down century-old workshops for profit. I can't let him do the same to my fashion house. So I'll wear his giant ring and spend the summer in his Lake Como villa, but I plan to drive him insane. I drink too much champagne, swim in his fountain, and steal shirts from his closet. The problem? Rafe never backs down. He ups the stakes instead. Soon, we're sharing a bed for appearances and kissing in public. I tease him in tiny outfits just to see him crack. Until he does... and I learn the only thing more dangerous than Rafe Montclair in control is when he goes after what he wants. He holds me when I have panic attacks and fights my battles like they're his own. And when he wakes up from nightmares, he won't explain... I realize he's waging a war of his own. Rafe bet he could control this marriage. But I'm the one thing he never planned on wanting this badly.
