Obligation

Obligation - an act or course of action to which a person is morally or legally
bound; a duty or commitment.
As soon as I saw her, I knew exactly who she was. A snake, born with venom in
her blood and poison in her veins.
I'm Clay Jansen, a king among men. But wearing the crown means dealing with
the duty and expectation that's been mine since birth.
January Burke is nothing more than an obligation; a business deal that was
sealed with vows not contracts.
But my poisonous new bride is a snake, bred from a den of vipers.
Family expectation might have forced me to entwine my life with hers, but I won't
be taken in by the good girl façade she's wearing.
So I watch her. Play with her until I know every move she makes, and every word
she says. But once I see her, it's impossible to look away.
Freedom is all she craves and the only thing I can't give her.
I should let her go, but I couldn't if I tried.
Obligation has become obsession... and she's all mine.
