When Claire agreed to marry Daniel Hartwell, she knew it wasn’t a love match.
Daniel was a billionaire CEO, cold and calculating, with a reputation for being ruthless in both business and life. He needed a wife—someone to stand by his side at galas, to charm his investors, and to play the part of the perfect partner. And Claire, with her quiet beauty and sharp wit, fit the bill.
What she didn’t expect was the heat that simmered beneath his icy exterior.
Their first night together was… transactional.
Daniel had laid out the terms of their arrangement in meticulous detail. Claire would have everything she could ever want—money, luxury, status. In return, she would be his wife in name only.
But as they stood in front of the altar, exchanging vows they both knew were hollow, Claire couldn’t help but notice the way Daniel’s eyes lingered on her. There was something there—something dark and hungry—that made her pulse quicken.
The first time he kissed her, it was for show.
They were at a charity gala, surrounded by flashing cameras and curious onlookers. Daniel’s arm was around her waist, his touch firm but impersonal. But when he leaned in to kiss her, something shifted.
His lips were soft but demanding, his kiss deeper than it needed to be. Claire’s breath hitched, her hands gripping his shoulders as the world around them faded away.
When he pulled back, his eyes were dark with something she couldn’t quite name.
“For the cameras,” he murmured, his voice low and rough.
But Claire wasn’t so sure.
As the weeks turned into months, the lines between them began to blur.
Daniel started coming home earlier, his excuses about work meetings growing thin. He’d find reasons to touch her—a hand on her lower back as they walked into a room, a brush of his fingers against hers as they sat at dinner.
And then there were the nights.
Claire would wake to find him standing in the doorway of her bedroom, his silhouette outlined by the moonlight. He never said anything, just watched her with those piercing blue eyes until she couldn’t take it anymore.
“What do you want, Daniel?” she asked one night, her voice trembling.
He crossed the room in three strides, his hands cupping her face as he kissed her with a desperation that took her breath away.
