Ties of Temptation

By A.J. Sinn

In the high-stakes world of business and legacy, Isabella and Billy are heirs to rival empires, destined to be enemies. But when an ancient family pact binds them in an unexpected arranged marriage, their worlds collide in a fiery clash of wills and desires.

 

Isabella, a fierce and independent spirit, has vowed never to bow to the whims of tradition. Billy, a brooding and powerful CEO, views love as a vulnerability he can't afford. Forced together, their battles of wit and wills ignite an undeniable passion, turning loathing into a dangerous, seductive dance.

 

As they navigate this uncharted territory, their nightly encounters evolve from contentious to erotically charged. Bound by a contract but driven by desire, Isabella and Billy find themselves caught in a tantalizing game. Each steamy encounter defies their understanding of hate and love, freedom and commitment.

In Ties of Temptation, lines blur between enemy and lover, duty and desire. With family legacies at stake and hearts on the line, will their fiery affair burn out, or will they surrender to a passion that could consume everything they've ever known?

 

Dive into a world where power plays and passionate nights challenge everything Isabella and Billy thought they knew about love, leaving them—and the reader—breathless and craving more.

Chapter 1

Istand in the grand ballroom, surrounded by the elite of high society. Billy enters, drawing the eyes of every woman in the room, including me. His athletic build fills out his tailored suit perfectly, and his chiseled features hold a roguish charm. Our eyes meet, a jolt of electricity passes between us. I turn away, feigning disinterest, though my quickened pulse betrays me. I've always liked to admire the man from afar, and it's disconcerting having him so close to me in the same room, especially given what's about to happen.

My father's secretary clinks her glass, commanding silence. My parents ascend the dais and make the dreaded announcement - Billy and I are to be wed. A collective gasp echoes through the hall. I stare at Billy, shock and anger swirling inside me. I knew it was going to happen, but thinking about it was a far cry from reality of the announcement. His eyes lock on mine, dark with simmering desire. Against my will, warmth spreads through my core. Why does this man have to be so fucking hot?

The applause begins, deafening in its false courtesy. Billy stalks toward me, his gaze predatory. It appears you're to be my wife, he purrs.

Don't be absurd, I snap, my cheeks flushing. I won't be forced into anything.

He leans in, his breath hot on my ear. We both know you want this as much as I do.

I shiver at his words, my body betraying me once again. This insufferable man affects me in ways I don't understand. As the crowd closes in with congratulations, all I can focus on is him, and the growing need that threatens to consume me. The battle lines have been drawn, but I fear the war is already lost.
