BLURB
In the Wakemont family, it’s tradition to arrange a marriage before the ink is dry on your birth certificate. I was five hours old when my father promised me to the son of a man with “more money than God.”
As we grew older, my future groom and I were encouraged to exchange “love letters” to get better acquainted—except the correspondence he sent read more like hate mail.
Slade Delacorte hated the arrangement.
But more than that, he hated me.
He was moody, intense, arrogant, and darkly gorgeous. A villain—not a prince. The last man on earth I’d ever marry (if I had the choice).
On my 24th birthday, we exchanged vows in front of six hundred guests who had no idea we weren’t every bit the blissful couple we pretended to be.
But as we began our new life together, I soon learned there was only one thing worse than marrying the man I’d hated my entire falling in love with him.
AUTHOR’S NOTE —This angsty, steamy contemporary romance is a complete standalone with a happily ever after.
They say you never forget your first love or your first kiss. But no one ever tells you that you never forget the first time a boy tells you he hates you.
ARC REVIEW
Slade and Campbell have been promised to each other from the time they were young children. Their marriage purely a business transaction. As their wedding date comes closer the two of them are forced to spend more time together and neither of them are looking forward to this.
I love that we get to see Campbell and Slade through their younger years via the letters they exchanged. Even though it was more hate mail versus love mail when it came to these two. Slade is cold and closed off and has walls built up around him. Campbell just wants love, she doesn’t want the cold relationship and future that it seems like she will get when it comes to Slade.
I loved seeing these two grow and actually learn about each other as they spend more time together. The walls start to crumble and Campbell is there to support Slade through everything, even when he may be pushing her away.
