He rides in like a hero, but he's the Devil underneath.

I thought I had it all. The perfect house, the perfect husband, and my perfect sweet baby boy — but that all disappeared in a single night. My 'perfect' husband died in the process of running away from the massive debt he left behind and with his mistress by his side.
Loan sharks came for the house. They wanted everything, and while my life crumbled around me, Leo Rais walked right in and offered me an out. If I care for his daughter for a year, all debts will vanish, and I can make a new life for myself and my son. Nursing two babies can't be too different from one. The plan was to be a stay at home mother, so this wouldn't be that different.
Except Leo's more invested in his daughter — and my son — then my dead husband ever was. The tension between us is electric. I just might be falling for him, but there's a darkness to him, and I might just have made a deal with the Devil.

Nobody betrays me. Finding out my wife slept with a dirty accountant on my dime, I did what I always do. I made a plan. I cleaned up the mess. People ended up dead. Even better, in the aftermath, I met Claire Thomas.
She's the perfect wife. How any man could step out on her, I'll never understand, and it only makes me more certain I made the right move.
I know what I want, and what I want is Claire in my home and in my bed. Seeing her care for our children drives me wild. The deal was for the year, but I have no intention of giving her up.
