Alicia, 18, works a simple job and wishes for a change. Her life is simple but messed up. Working at the local library is about as exciting as watching flies and when she goes home, she only wants to leave. She has conflict at home since she was sent to live with her parents' abusive friends. She needs a way out and a friend offers her a deal she cannot refuse. Alicia has the opportunity to move out and marry her friend's brother she has never met. She would get her own house and be free of the bad living situation. So she blindly signs up to marry a mystery man, and all chaos breaks free when she realizes who he is. She wanted to opt out of the contract when she found out who he was but it was too late. All she wanted was a change for her life. Little did she know, her life was about to drastically change.
Duke, 32, ex-CIA agent, and all he wants is his job back. After he disregarded orders to save people's lives, he was let go from the agency. So he worked a low-profile job at the local university. That was until things went south. Dukes' past came breaking in, literally...
Then there's the middle man, or should I say woman? Lila, the best friend of Alicia, had a perfect plan to turn Alicia's life around, to give her a fresh start. Only the details were a bit fuzzy and Lila did not know what she was signing Alicia up for.
More thrills occur as they find out there is an entire team that wants him dead. Alicia's life is turned upside down when he has to take her out of the country to protect her. Twists and turns, full of action, comedy, and spice, fill every page.
This age gap, enemies-to-lovers, arranged marriage trope is the perfect book to get you hooked. Not only is there romance, but the intense action and comedy on each page making you starved for more. Not to mention the banter!Also in
