The Maverick

If vengeance consumes my heart, she is the lifeblood that eases it. Calculated and driven, Attikus Mount is a museum owner consumed with catching the man responsible for destroying his entire family. Nothing and no one could sway his plan until a stunning woman splashes onto his life like a bold paint stroke, recreating his perfectly curated scheme. Vanessa Lam is a cunning artist with a deep scar that needs more than healing. Her marriage to Attikus is supposed to be a simple contract detached from emotions. But now her heart wants more, and she's willing to blur the contractual fine print in a dangerous game that could shatter them both. As their romance solidifies and the truth of their past unravels, Attikus must protect the woman he loves or abandon her to go after the enemy who destroyed his life. The Maverick is an arranged / fake marriage, forced proximity, hidden identity, morally gray billionaire hero, and a suspenseful contemporary romance.
