Nothing is out of his reach, thanks to his family’s wealth and power.

He wields that control with one goal—his pleasure.

But the good life he enjoys comes with strings, and if he wants to keep doing all those things he loves, he has to live up to his family’s expectations.

That means taking a wife, even if he doesn’t want one.

Not that I have any interest in being shackled to him either.

When the man holding the most of my father’s debt, the notoriously cruel Stephen Rule, decides I’d be a perfect wife for his wayward son, I understand the true effect of my father’s lifetime of mistakes.

He won’t have to pay for them. I will.

Just how I’ll have to do that is up to one man. Maddox Rule.
