“Sign it, Claire. Or I'll call the police and your father will spend the rest of his life in a cell." My father didn't just ruin himself. He wagered me... and lost me to the only man who hates our family more than anyone in the world: Dante Vane. Dante is a predator in a five-thousand-dollar suit. He is cold, ruthless, and holds a ten-year grudge against my last name. Now, I am his "Collateral Bride." To the world, I'm the lucky girl who managed to tame the beast. In private, I am a prisoner in a golden cage, forced to play the role of the perfect wife until his 10-million-dollar debt is paid. Dante thinks he owns me. He thinks he can use me to humiliate my father and secure his inheritance. But he is wrong. I have a secret that can turn his empire to ashes. I am already six weeks pregnant... and the baby isn't his. It belongs to the man Dante is trying to destroy. If Dante finds out, he will kill my child's father. If I stay, I'll be raising a baby for a man who treats me like property. In this game of power and revenge, there are no heroes... only survivors”
