Synopsis
Tattiana Taylor thought skipping town would save her from the arranged marriage her father forced on her… until she was kidnapped out her own driveway by the dangerous man waiting to make her his wife. Kaseem Carter is feared, rich, emotionally detached and next in line to inherit his family’s empire… but only if he marries immediately and produces an heir within twelve months. Now trapped inside a heavily guarded compound with a man who controls everything around him, Tatti is forced into a life full of power, luxury, violence and secrets. Dead bodies start showing up at the Carter gates, enemies are circling the family empire, women from Kaseem’s past won’t go away and the deeper Tatti gets pulled into his world, the harder it becomes to escape it. But while Kaseem is trying to force Tatti into becoming his perfect wife, he slowly realizes she’s nothing like the quiet woman he expected. She’s smart, reckless, protective and hiding secrets dangerous enough to destroy both of them. And somewhere between the threats, the chaos, the bloodshed and the toxicity… they start falling for each other in the worst way possible. Now the same man Tatti once feared might become the only person capable of protecting her… if his enemies don’t destroy everything first.
