Vicious Vows. Tempting Proposal

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

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

Harsh, self-centered, ruthless - that's how I would describe my boss.
But why does every time he says my name, goosebumps run down my spine? And my heart starts to beat faster when his cold as steel eyes meet mine? I don't know why I agreed to the adventure of a fake marriage. He is a walking red flag, and I should keep my distance from him. But the thought of being apart from him causes pain. Damon is my dangerous addiction, the poison that has tainted my mind, from which I seem unable to escape.
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 dream of belonging entirely and exclusively to him?
