Bartered Vows

James Black is the mogul of BLAQ Inc – a CEO not above coloring in the grey. I am a pediatrician who works with sparkles and magic to fix my patient’s ouchies and boo-boos. My life is quiet, my routine is simple. Never should my path have crossed with such a ruthless beast’s. And then my father made a mistake. A tale as old as time, there’s only one thing to be done. The businessman needs a bride, and I won’t be the reason my father’s life ends prematurely. James Black makes me an offer I can’t refuse. He tells me I’m going to marry him. He tells me I can’t spend my own money. He tells me I have to live in his penthouse. It should be a dream, and maybe for other girls it would be. But I worked too hard to forge an independent life to let it all go. So… I have a few stipulations of my own. And I’ll fight for each and every one. I learn quickly that if I want to survive in his world, it will cost me more than my last name. Am I willing to sacrifice my body, my soul, and probably my heart? I’m the bubbly, chaotic ray of sunshine who sees the lonely monster alone in his castle. But if I’m going to break through the shadows, I’ll have to embrace the dark. Bartered Vows is the exhilarating first installment in the West Coast Underworld series. It’s a stand-alone darker billionaire arranged marriage romance, complete with a happily ever after and no cliffhangers. A morally grey romance, this book may not be suitable for everyone. **This is not a fantasy or a paranormal, but if you believe in magic, you just might see it hard at work in the pages of this contemporary romance.
