No woman should ever dread her wedding, but staring into her husband's eyes, Abby can see the hatred shining back at her. She's been blackmailed into marriage and now belongs to a man who thinks she's a gold-digging whore. Not the best circumstances to start a marriage.

James has a secret and has been blackmailed into a marriage he doesn't want in order to keep his private life out of the press. Even as his wife sweetly smiles at him, he can't allow himself to believe that she's innocent in all of this. He has a plan to make sure this marriage doesn't last long, and he's going through with it!

Abby doesn't trust James, but she doesn't want to be miserable and wishes there was something she could to do to help him—and herself.

What is his secret? Why would he marry her to protect it? And why is James more than happy to have another man join them?
