Knox

He married her for revenge. He never expected to become the one man willing to burn everything down to keep her. Knox DeLuca has spent years rebuilding the empire that was nearly destroyed by one powerful family. His brother was murdered. His father was left broken.

And somewhere between hatred and desire, the woman Knox intended to use became the one person…
