Description
Nari Collette finds herself on the brink of homelessness after a crushing betrayal. Desperate for stability, she reluctantly agrees to an unconventional proposal from the attractive and enigmatic Kincaid Akel.
Determined to reclaim his seat as heir of a dangerous criminal enterprise, Kincaid needs a wife to solidify his position, but he never expected his carefully selected bride to ignite such fierce desire. As Nari awakens feelings he long thought dead, Kincaid struggles to maintain control.
Their entangled marriage of convenience quickly becomes a battleground of wills as Nari fights to protect her heart, even as she's irresistibly drawn to her dangerous new husband.
As enemies close in from all sides, and with both their hearts and lives on the line, Nari and Kincaid must decide if they can trust each other with their deepest secrets . . . or if the very passion that binds them will ultimately be their downfall.

The way Mills navigates the intricacies of human emotions and relationships is a testament to her skill as a storyteller, and I eagerly anticipate her future works, knowing they will likely resonate just as deeply.
This was a good book and I enjoyed the storyline and getting to know the characters personally. Nari has gone through a lot in her life, but so have many other people. A some point you have no choice but to grow up in life and make lemonade with the lemons you have been dealt. Most women want a man like Kincaid who worships the ground that she walks on. Whew, I know I do...IJS. Loved this book.
