I can't marry this bas***d

Evangel Clark's world shatters when her father demands she marry Trenton Wade—the man who destroyed her in high school. Desperate to escape the arrangement, she claims to be a lesbian, a lie that spirals into something dangerously real. Ten years haven't dulled the magnetic pull Trenton still exerts over her, and she refuses to become his victim twice. But when her best friend agrees to play the role of devoted girlfriend, Evangel discovers feelings that blur the line between performance and truth, leaving her caught between two hearts and impossible choices.

Trenton Wade needs the merger between his empire and Clark's company to secure his family's legacy. The catch: he must marry the boss's daughter—a woman he once abandoned without a second thought. Evangel's rejection only fuels his determination. He seduced her once before; he's convinced he can do it again. But redemption isn't as simple as rekindling desire, and the woman Evangel has become refuses to be conquered so easily. As secrets unravel and boundaries blur, both must confront whether this marriage is about power, passion, or something neither of them anticipated.
