Tempt Me, Taint Me

A divorced single mom. A mafia underboss. A fake marriage with only one bed. And a second chance she never saw coming. I’m forty-four, freshly divorced, broke, and back living with my mother. Then a dangerously handsome stranger offers me two hundred thousand dollars to pretend to be his wife for a week. Wait, what? Relaxing at a married couples retreat while my stranger does business? Sounds like a good deal. But… 1) There’s only one bed; 2) My ‘husband’ is the sexiest man I’ve ever seen; and 3) This is no ordinary retreat. August King is not the hedge fund manager I thought he was. He’s a mafia underboss. And the luxury retreat we’re staying at? It’s a cover for an illegal arms trade. I should hate him. I should run for my life. I should forget he ever happened. But, when my own personal war becomes entangled with his, I can’t leave. Because, not only has my stranger tempted me, he’s tainted me too. Tropes: Fake marriage ~ Only one bed ~ Second chance at true love ~ Possessive MMC ~ Struggling single mom FMC ~ Banter ~ Dual POV
