[Mature Content: NO RAPE]

Let’s make a deal!

“Two months, if we can survive each other in the period of two months, I will marry you without objection!”

…

Twenty-two-year-old Evelyn Darkwood never imagined that going to her late father’s will-reading would have resulted in a rivalry between her and her siblings. That they would become a danger to her—one who sought after her life. 

She never thought that her life would take such a twisted turn so quickly. And what’s worse, she comes to find out that she’d been betrothed to a man she didn’t know and had never met. 

Zayne Mancini.

The wealthiest man. A man whose power and fame were no joke. A man who possibly could be the only one capable of protecting her. 

Strong, cold, frightening, all this he was and despite the danger written all over him, Evelyn felt a strange connection, hot and burning. 

Zayne Mancini wanted her—his betrothed (a human who was his mate) and he was going to make her his, no matter how stubborn she wanted to be about it. 

Fascinating, thrilling, all this she was to him—like a spark to ignite his boring life. Evelyn Darkwood was a whole package that he was slowly going to bring undone. 

A woman he wouldn’t think twice of burning the world for. A woman he would give his whole being to. All she had to say was,

“I do”

"Isn't this house a bit too expensive?" Amber asked, glancing around. 


"Is it?" Evelyn blinked at her. "I thought you would like it." 


Amber smiled softly. "I do like it. I'm just worried about the huge amount of money you spent on it." 


"Oh, that's not a problem. You'll be staying here for a long while. I just want you to be comfortable." 


Her smile stretched wider and she leaned in asking, "Have you gone to TDG company?" 


"Yes." Evelyn nodded, crossing her legs. "Preston pitched his idea to all the shareholders, well, except Zayne. They were all against me, cornering me to give the corporation to him."
