The truth is out and now Griffin knows about my deception. Griffin's not a man who trusts easily and my betrayal cut him deeper than he wants to admit.
I never intended to develop feelings for this man. Feelings that are a betrayal to the man I lost long ago. And with Griffin taking wounded verbal swipes at me every chance he gets, those feelings feel like a betrayal of my self-worth. Just when I've decided I can't live with a man who won't forgive me, everything I thought was truth turns to bitter lies.

Desire. That's all Griffin says he wants from me. But desire has a way of awakening deeper emotions in us both and when jealousy and possessiveness are flamed by people determined to break us, Griff's fear of love threatens everything we're building together. If I push, if I ask too much of his heart, he'll end our arrangement. I know it.

After all I was never supposed to make our marriage real.
