Wild Side

A woman has always imagined her wedding day, but not to the man who once betrayed her. When her nephew's guardianship becomes contested, she agrees to marry Rhys Dupris to keep him in Rose Hill, despite their fraught history. Rhys is secretive and broody, frequently away for weeks and returning with unexplained injuries he refuses to discuss. The two barely communicate, yet an undeniable tension exists between them. Living together tests this dynamic as attraction intensifies. As time passes, the woman discovers a different side of Rhys—someone fierce, protective, gentle, and dependable. He proves himself present when needed most. Her initial resolve to hate him wavers as she learns who he truly is beneath the surface, making forgiveness possible and affection increasingly difficult to resist.
