"You have two options: marry me, or die. Choose quickly."
His voice is cold steel wrapped in velvet.
I'm a singer, not a soldier.
I witnessed a weapons deal I was never supposed to see.
Now a corrupt colonel wants me dead.
Enter Commander Ethan Castellano.
Towering. Scarred. Feared by everyone who knows his name.
Former Navy SEAL. Billionaire contractor. Cold-hearted warrior.
His solution? A contract marriage.
One year. His protection for my testimony.
Separate rooms. No emotions. Strictly business.
But forced proximity in his fortress estate changes everything...
Shared meals turn to stolen glances.
Late-night conversations crack his armor.
The grumpy commander who never smiles? He smiles for me.
And when he touches me, I forget this was never supposed to be real.
One chilling question haunts my every breath:
When the contract expires and the danger ends, will he let me walk away?
Or have I become the one mission he'll never complete?
Readers note: This is a full-length standalone military romance featuring a marriage of convenience, forced proximity, grumpy/sunshine dynamic, and a damaged hero who falls first and falls hard. No cheating, guaranteed HEA. Perfect for fans of emotional depth, protective alphas, and heroines who make stone-cold warriors feel again.
