The Proposal

I never thought I’d marry a man like Nicholas Blackwood— controlled, ruthless, untouchable. But when he shows up o!ering a marriage of convenience to save my struggling clinic and secure my daughter’s future, I say yes. He’s also the man who once almost kissed me… then vanished.

Now, I’m living in his world—opulent, cold, and full of secrets. But behind his steel mask, I see glimpses of something more. He’s protec‐ tive. Fiercely loyal. And the way he watches Brie like she’s already his? It unravels me.

But someone’s watching us. An anonymous threat. Betrayals too close to home. And the deeper we fall, the more dangerous it becomes.

Then I whisper the one truth that changes everything: I’m pregnant.

Our arrangement was never meant to feel like this. But love doesn’t follow contracts—it breaks them.

Now, Nicholas has to choose: protect his empire… or !ght for the family we never expected.

This wasn’t the life I planned. But it might just be the love I was always meant for.
