Marrying Kip Goodman is the last hopeless path.

But she was desperate. So much so that she was ready to marry the man she despised.

All she had to do was spend a year married to a self-confident alpha male who thought of women only as notches on his post bed.

She had her own reasons for this marriage.

He did too.

They had to lie to their friends and relatives, and try to survive the year with each other friend.

It seemed so easy.

Until it became clear that she had to resist him.

Because Kip Goodman turned out to be not who she was for accepted it.

And it was risky.
