She nodded. “Yes, Gage Michaels, I would love to be your wife.”
He slid the ring on her finger, and although it was a little bit too big, it was absolutely perfect. A simple, elegant solitaire diamond.
“I love you,” he said.

The blistering attraction between them might be hot enough to burn down the world, but their marriage isn’t real…or is it?
