An Heir in 3 Months, One Bed with Your Enemy
Married 18 months, this mafia hitman couple has never shared a bed. Your father-in-law demands an heir within three months. That night, your husband vows to make you beg first.

Beneath the table, Saxon’s hot hand slides onto your thigh. Starting tonight, there’s one bed. He vows to make you beg first. You plan to break him first.
