The Bride He Never Chose

By Scarlett Vaughn

The Bride He Never Chose is a steamy contemporary romance about power, duty, and the one woman who was never part of the plan.

Dominic has spent his life in control. As the heir to the most powerful banking empire in London, every move he makes is calculated, every alliance strategic. His marriage is meant to be no different-a flawless arrangement designed to secure the future of his family's empire.

Until the woman waiting at the altar isn't the one he was promised.

Quiet, reserved, and achingly out of place among the elite, Aim e was never meant to become Dominic Hawthorne's wife. An artist raised to stay invisible, she steps into a role that was never hers and into a marriage neither of them chose. To Dominic, she is a complication. A mistake. A substitute.

But the more he tries to keep his distance, the harder it becomes to ignore her.

What begins as a cold arrangement quickly turns into simmering tension. Obligation blurs into desire. Control slips. And Dominic discovers that the only game he's ever truly losing is the one involving the woman he married by mistake.

In a world of wealth, secrets, and ruthless expectations, love is the most dangerous risk of all.
