Convenient Wife Conditions (The Carandini Legacy Book 1)

About this book

Massimo Carandini has spent years meticulously rebuilding his family’s reputation, and a strategic marriage is the final piece of his plan. However, when his intended bride, Catarina d’Avalos, realizes her future is being traded for social standing, she does the unthinkable: she runs. Determined to save face, Massimo tracks her down, but a sudden, massive snowstorm forces the pair into isolation, turning a cold business arrangement into a high-stakes test of wills. Catarina refuses to settle for a hollow, loveless union. She craves genuine passion and isn't afraid to challenge the rigid, controlled tycoon who makes her pulse race despite her better judgment. She agrees to wear his ring only on her own terms—and exploring their undeniable, electric chemistry is nonnegotiable. This steamy, snowbound romance features the classic "marriage of convenience" and "runaway fiancée" tropes, pushing two stubborn, complex characters into a confined space where secrets are stripped away. Will the heat between them melt Massimo’s professional resolve, or are they destined to remain trapped by their own expectations? Dive into this intense, emotional journey where the only thing more dangerous than the storm outside is the undeniable attraction growing between them.
