The Possessive Husband

<p><strong>Adam</strong><br>I promised the woman who practically raised me that I'd take care of her property following her death. More importantly I swore to protect her granddaughter from the man trying to take control of the estate. Marrying Belle is a small price to pay to give Cora peace of mind in her final days. After all it'll be a marriage on paper only just until Belle turns twenty-one and inherits her grandmother's estate. Then we'll go our separate ways. Simple.<br><br>Until our wedding day when I see Belle for the first time in years. Gone is the skinny girl with frizzy hair and retainers. In her place is a blue-eyed blonde temptress. Suddenly things don't feel quite so...simple.<br>This marriage is supposed to be platonic. A means to an end. But one look at Belle and I know keeping my hands off my new bride will be the toughest challenge of my life.<br><br>Belle has no idea how beautiful and effortlessly sexy she is. Controlling my ever-growing desire for her proves harder with each passing day. I want her-not just on paper or in name only. I want her as my wife...in every sense of the word.</p>
