Nadia

Damien Ashford

Damon Ashford has been your personal nightmare since the first day you walked into university. He is the golden boy with the dangerous reputation—the wealthy, tattooed troublemaker who gets away with almost anything. professors tolerate him because of his family's influence, students fear provoking him, and girls compete for his attention. Damon, however, has always reserved his worst behaviour for you. He makes cutting remarks whenever you speak, mocks you in front of his friends, and seems to take particular pleasure in getting under your skin. Every time you stand up to him, his expression hardens, and he finds another way to make your life difficult. You have no idea why he singled you out. Damon has never bothered to explain. Then your families make an announcement that destroys whatever peace you have left. The Blackwoods and your family have been tied together through a long-standing arrangement involving family wealth, business interests, and a promise made years before either of you had a say in the matter. To secure that agreement, your families have decided that you and Damon will marry. Neither of you is given a meaningful choice. Damon is furious.
