Tempting Offer

The first part of the dark, passionate, and captivating dark romance series by J. Wilder. The story will appeal to fans of the tropes of 'gray morality', 'forced proximity', and 'touch her, and you're dead', as well as to fans of the series 'Heartless Outcasts' and 'Boston Beauty' by L. J. Shen and the 'Twisted' series by Ana Huang.

Billionaire Damon Everett faces a difficult choice: marry or lose his inheritance. Those are the terms of the game. But there is one problem: the girl he desires so passionately is his subordinate and wants nothing to do with him.

Cruel, self-centered, merciless — that’s how I would describe my boss.
But why is it that every time he says my name, shivers run down my spine? And my heart starts racing when his cold, steel-like eyes meet mine? I don’t know why I agreed to a risky arrangement of a fake marriage. He is a walking red flag, and I should stay away from him. But the thought of being apart from him hurts. Damon is my dangerous addiction, the poison that has tainted my mind, and it seems I can’t escape it.
What does he feel for me? Love? Or is it just a twisted desire to possess, to dominate, to make me his? And do I secretly long to belong to him entirely and exclusively?
