Shes always dreamed of her wedding day. And those dreams never included saying I do to a man she hates.

But when Tabithas nephews guardianship is contested, she decides shell do whatever it takes to keep him in Rose Hill. Even if it means marrying the enemy.

Rhys Dupris.

A man who is secretive, broody, and completely infuriating. A man whose work takes him away for weeks on end and brings him back covered in mysterious bruisesones he wont talk about. In fact, Tabitha and Rhys barely talk at all.

Which would be fine, except when hes not talking, hes staring. And the way he looks at her is borderline indecent.

The tension between them has always been palpable. But living under the same roof is a dangerous temptation.

Tabitha swore she would never forgive him. But that was before she knew the man behind the mask. The one whos fierce and protective. The one whos gentle and patient. The one who shows up for her and her nephew when they need him most.

Hes not at all who she thought he was.

And that makes hating her husband so much harderand loving him just a little too easy.
