The CEO's Purchased Bride

Olivia Shaw was always a pawn for her family, but she never expected that on her twenty first birthday, she herself would be wrapped up and presented to a wealthier family as a gift. A fortune bride. Her own father sells her off to the powerful Donovan family in a marriage not for love but for his own selfish motives. With no other choice, she agrees to marry the man everyone calls a devil, Benjamin Donovan, a war hero with a broken body, a ruthless temper, and a reputation drenched in blood. The Shaws expect Olivia to be their bargaining chip planted inside the Donovan family. But Benjamin is not the monster she thought he was, beneath Benjamin’s cold cruelty, she found herself discovering a man scarred by a past betrayal. --- Excerpt "Do you care about me so much?" Benjamin’s low voice brushed against her ear, heavy with amusement. Olivia’s back stiffened, her cheeks burning as she stammered, “A doctor… a doctor must be benevolent.” His laughter was sharp, dangerous, and yet, strangely warm. “Doctor’s benevolence?” She nodded quickly, clutching the edge of her dress. But in her heart, a thought lingered, This man everyone fears as the devil… why does he feel like the first person who has ever truly seen me?
