Thorne Billionaires

He’s my fiercest rival. Arrogant, ruthless, and filthy rich.
And I’m about to marry him.

When Tristan Thorne’s father dies suddenly, the last thing I expect is a summons to the will reading. What could the dead father of my oldest rival possibly want from me?

Turns out, a lot.

There’s a single stipulation buried in the will: Tristan only inherits if he gets married. And not just to anyone.

To me.

I should say no, but this alliance could save my family too—and vows aren’t forever. Once we satisfy the terms, we can end the marriage and walk away.

Except being married to the one man who gets under my skin is harder than I planned. Especially when he removes every bed from his house but one, learns sign language for me, and growls “my wife” in a way that doesn’t feel fake.

Everyone calls me the ice queen. Cold. Untouchable.

But when the tension between us finally snaps, Tristan lights me on fire, growling filthy things against my skin until I’m begging for more.

Somehow, the rival I swore I hated becomes the one who makes me laugh. The one I reach for when panic sets in. The one who’s seen all my scars and never once judged me. The one I’m starting to think I can’t live without.

But we were rivals long before we were anything else…

And some fires don’t just keep you warm.

They burn everything to the ground.
