Pride

Deceitful. Arrogant. Cold.

Those are the three perfect words to sum up my husband to be.
After little deliberation, my parents decide Isiah Darcy is the perfect suitor.
He's rich, British, and the perfect ally for the Benedetto family business.

I can't stand him, but they don't care what I want.
He's stuck up and has little respect for women.
Once we're married, he makes it painfully clear I have no rights.

I'm nothing more than a puppet.
A way for him to get what he's always wanted.
Revenge on my family for something that happened years ago.
My husband wants to tear my family apart.
He underestimates me, as I'll do everything in my power to stop him.
And yet all is not as it first appears as I get to know the villainous Isiah Darcy.
