Description

"Knight Grayson isn't just one of New York's elite billionaires. He's the embodiment of Hades in a tailored suit and a beautiful devil waiting to destroy. He always gets what he wants, no matter the cost. Including me. One harmless, sexy encounter places him in my path and before I know it, I'm caught in his strategic trap. Although he insists I'm not his Persephone, he steals me away from my almost-fiancé. And my life. This isn't like the mythical tale of old driven by love. To him, I'm a pawn in a game of power because I have something he wants. In order to build his empire and get his legacy, he needs my inheritance. Since the only way to get that is to marry me, he forces my hand by using my father. Six months of marriage, along with the ownership of my inheritance, and my father's extortionate debts will go away. To save my father, I signed Knight's contract, binding myself to every term and condition. But then, the boundaries between us begin to blur." -- Back cover
