Faye has spent nearly her entire life being prepared to become Dion Windsor's wife. Her abusive father has controlled everything about her, molding her into the woman he believes Dion would want and teaching her to hide the parts of herself that don't fit his idea of the perfect Windsor wife. Faye believes Dion couldn't care less about her, but the truth is far more complicated. Haunted by the accident that killed their mothers and convinced the darkness surrounding him makes him undeserving of Faye, Dion has deliberately kept his distance. Once their wedding date is finally set, that distance begins to disappear, and the more Dion sees glimpses of the real Faye beneath everything her father forced her to become, the more determined he is to set her free.Show Less

Stella is a tattoo artist who wants nothing to do with the wealthy, corrupt world she grew up around, but when her brother lands himself in serious gambling debt, she finds herself making a deal with the last man she should trust. Tyler will erase the debt if Stella agrees to fake date him and help him gain access to her family's powerful inner circle. What she doesn't know is that Tyler has spent years planning his way into that world for reasons far more personal than money. What starts as manipulation quickly becomes complicated when fake feelings turn real, buried secrets begin coming to light, and Stella's old friend AJ unexpectedly finds his way back into her life.Show Less
