Sugar-Kissed Affection

Three years ago, Sandy Hunt entered a flash marriage with Darren York to salvage her father’s struggling company. It was a deal of necessity — not affection. Darren, furious at being used, stormed out and never once met the woman he was legally wed to. Now fate forces them back into each other’s orbit. Old wounds and awkward silence collide with inevitable closeness. Sandy carries the weight of sacrifice; Darren carries cold distrust. As they confront the hollow contract that bound them, buried vulnerabilities surface. Tension flips to tenderness. The pretend union fractures into something real, but trust must be earned. Will their second chance grow into genuine love, or will past anger ruin it again?
