Synopsis
The first time I met my future husband, he terrified me so much I called him “Sir“. My parents decided to give me to him to secure my father’s dwindling power. Because if Cassio is one thing, then it’s powerful. He’s also much older than me and the single dad to two small children. I don’t know anything about raising kids or being a wife. Cassio wants a nanny and someone to warm his bed. He doesn’t want a relationship on equal footing. My mother warned me that men of power, like Cassio, don’t tolerate insolence, but I’m sick of being treated like a nanny with benefits. But there’s a reason why Cassio never talks about his dead wife and how she died, and I fear the dark secrets I might uncover will break my heart. A dark arranged marriage romance with an innocent heroine and an over-the-top possessive and jealous hero.
