Ruthlessly His

Love was the last thing on my mind on my wedding day.

In the world of New York's elite, marriage is just another business transaction.
For me, it was a carefully calculated step to escape a life controlled by my mother's schemes.
I thought marrying a man I could at least tolerate would give me a sliver of freedom.

But then Luc Manwarring II decided to crash my plans.
He stormed in, turning my wedding into a humiliating spectacle.
He made it look like passion, like a desperate act of love, but I knew better.

His real motive?
Revenge.

I wasn't a bride; I was the prize.
Now I’m trapped in his web, a pawn in his twisted game of vengeance.
He thinks he can dominate me, break my spirit, and bend me to his dark desires.
But Luc is wrong.

I may have been forced into this marriage, but I won’t be controlled.

Our marriage becomes a battlefield, every interaction a duel of power and defiance.
He pushes me, trying to claim me, but I push back harder, refusing to yield.
And as the battle rages, I see the cracks in his cold façade.

Maybe I’m not the one being played.
Maybe I’m the one who will win this game.

Uncover the hidden scandals and untamed passions of New York's high society in this intense dark romance by USAT Bestselling authors Zoe Blake and Alta Hensley.
