LOGINImogen Fisher’s life takes a devastating turn when her father decides to trade her future in exchange for clearing his debts. Forced into an arranged marriage with the troubled son of a wealthy family, Imogen feels trapped in a life she never chose. But everything changes the moment a shocking truth is revealed during the arrangement dinner — she is already legally married. The problem? She has no idea who her husband is. Years earlier, while desperately running away from home to escape another forced marriage, Imogen unknowingly signed a real marriage certificate offered by a mysterious old woman who promised it would save her. Thinking it was only a temporary solution, she forgot about the incident entirely. Now the past has returned to haunt her. Across the city, cold and powerful billionaire CEO Malcolm Grayson wakes up to a scandal exposing him as a secretly married man. Furious and convinced someone is trying to trap him, Malcolm begins searching for the mysterious woman tied to him by a marriage he does not remember. Fate brings them together once again when Imogen, now hiding behind her mother’s surname after being disowned by her family, unknowingly begins working under Malcolm himself. As attraction grows, misunderstandings deepen, and dangerous enemies begin circling around them, Malcolm and Imogen are forced into a marriage neither of them wanted… only to discover it may become the one thing they cannot live without.

My hands instinctively rested against his chest to steady myself because, for some reason, my knees had suddenly become weak.His familiar scent surrounded me, and in that moment I realized just how dangerous this was becoming.I found myself wanting to be closer to him.Wanting him to hold me a little longer.To touch me a little more.His free hand slowly moved from the small of my back until it rested on my hip before drifting lower to my backside. It was the first time he had ever crossed that boundary, and when his hand gently squeezed, a shiver ran through me.He slowly broke the kiss and trailed soft kisses along my jaw.My breathing had already become uneven, my eyes fluttering shut as I surrendered to the warmth of his touch."I love those little sounds you make," he murmured.My eyes snapped open.Only then did I realize I had been letting out soft, unconscious moans."And I'm about to burs
Imogen"Why are you so shameless?" I asked after I had finally calmed down.All he did was chuckle."But seriously, I wasn't expecting you to call me first."I bit my lower lip."I wasn't going to. I had just finished speaking with my father when I accidentally called you."His end went quiet for a moment before he spoke again."I thought he disowned you."I nodded even though I knew he couldn't see me."He did. I had his number blocked, but he called me with another number. He was about to say something about Harmon Evans before I ended the call."I really didn't want to think about those people anymore.Couldn't they all just disappear from my life?Was that too much to ask?"Are you at home?" Malcolm suddenly asked.I frowned."Yes... why?"The next thing he said made me sit up straighter."I'm coming over. It's your fault for calling me when I was already thinking about you."My eyes widened."Coming over to do what? Don't come."I was instantly on high alert."Too late. I'm alrea
ImogenI didn't even realize when I cried myself to sleep.The loud alarm from my phone was what finally woke me.Still half-asleep, I sat up, reached for my phone, and turned it off before flopping right back onto the bed.It was Sunday.There was nowhere I needed to rush to.So I closed my eyes again and drifted back to sleep.I didn't know how long I slept but the ringing of my phone startled me awake.Before even looking at the screen, I was already convinced it was Malcolm calling.But when I picked up my phone, the name displayed made the sleep vanish from my face.Madam Evelyn.I quickly sat upright and answered the call, bringing the phone to my ear."Good afternoon, my daughter-in-law," she greeted cheerfully.My eyes widened.Wait, don't tell me it was already afternoon.Right on cue, my stomach growled."Good afternoon, Madam Evelyn. How are you?" I asked, absentmindedly running my fingers through my messy hair."Nonsense," she scolded immediately. "It's Grandmother to you.
ImogenEventually, the dinner came to an end, and nothing else happened.I just hoped Malcolm didn't leave thinking I was incapable of loving someone.But, tonight made me realize something.I truly didn't know what love was.Maybe from now on, I would try.I would try to learn what it meant...And perhaps, somewhere along the way, I would learn how to love him too.The moment I got home, I threw myself onto my bed and stared up at the ceiling.I had told Malcolm so much about my private life tonight.Thinking about it now, I realized just how much I trusted him.A small smile slowly found its way onto my lips.Honestly, if he had pushed me a little harder earlier, I might have actually agreed to his ridiculous compensation.The thought made me chuckle to myself.Then the smile gradually disappeared.What Malcolm told me about my mother refused to leave my mind.Harmon Evans...If he was Madam Evelyn's old business associate, then he was obviously a wealthy and influential man.I sat
