Stolen Matrimony (The Bloodline Book 1)

To the world, Nazai is the ultimate catch—rich, powerful, and charming. But beneath his polished facade lies a man forged by a ruthless family that no one dares to cross. On the brink of taking over the family empire, one obstacle stands in his way: he must marry and secure an heir. When his father gives him an ultimatum—find a bride within three months or marry the woman chosen for him—Nazai is left with no choice but to act. Cashlynn is just trying to survive. With a younger brother to care for and a bounty on her head, her life is a constant fight to stay one step ahead. But a single misstep places her directly in Nazai’s sights, and her fate is sealed. Forced into a marriage with a man she barely knows, Cashlynn vows to make their union as difficult as possible. Nazai, however, thrives on challenges. Her defiance only fuels his obsession, awakening the darkness within him. As he pulls her deeper into his twisted game, Cashlynn begins to realize she’s nothing more than a pawn in his plans. But when the truth is revealed, will she fight to reclaim her freedom—or be consumed by his dangerous allure? *Note: This is book one of an interconnected standalone, family saga. While it can be read on its own, you'll get more joy and better understanding by reading in order.*
