Forced to marry the one man she hated!.
Two years ago, Paris Apollonris had taken Bliss’s ancestral home, Cathlamet, when her father couldn’t pay his gambling debts. Paris had proposed to her then, either to sooth his guilty conscience or because he wanted Bliss’s family connections, she’d been too proud to submit, whatever his motives may have been.
Now her foolish brother had been caught embezzling from Paris’s casino, where he worked, it was Paris’s trump card, and he played it well.
“I’m willing to let your brother go free,” he told Bliss, “as soon as you and I are married.”
