A marriage contract signed…
and passionately sealed!
Tycoon Axel will claim ownership of the company he built—if he must marry his enemy’s secret daughter, then so be it. He just needs to persuade her to accept his strictly-business proposal!
Left destitute by her ex, dancer Joy has been working in a strip club to provide for her family. A year married to a stranger—even one as ruthless as Axel—seems a small price to pay for their financial security. Until they share a devastatingly fiery kiss, and Joy realises striking a deal with the devil means she’s going to get burned…
A calculated arranged marriage plan turns heartwarming when love steals the show and fake becomes real all too quickly. The first book in Collins’ Business Proposals duet has a down on her luck heroine who sells her soul to the lesser of two evils to care for her sick father. I enjoyed both Axel and Joy right from the start. We already had a slight affinity for him from the beginning when he was supposed to be marrying Mira, but once his boss/mentor pulls the rug out from beneath him, I still was invested in him and his outcome. I enjoyed the connection he and Joy grew into, and I still look forward to seeing Mira get her very own happily ever after in the second book of the duet. Solid characters, good back stories and lots of drama to sink your teeth into.
