Catharina Maura

Faye is the last woman Dion Windsor wants to be near, let alone marry… yet there’s no escaping the alluring pianist he’s been engaged to since they were children.

For years, he made his unwillingness known, but his attempts to keep Faye at a distance fade to dust at the sight of her with another man — mere months before their wedding.

One look at her, and he realises he’s done running. Time is up, and whether she likes it or not, she’s his.

Or she could be, if the secrets he keeps didn’t hold the power to destroy her.


Publisher's Note: Each book in the Windsors series features a different Windsor sibling, and as such, each book can be read as a standalone. The Unwanted Marriage contains a guaranteed happily-ever-after and no cheating.

She doesn’t know it yet, but she’ll be my downfall. I just hope I don’t take her down with me.

“Keep being good for me, baby, and I’ll be good to you too. So good."

When I asked him why he’d gotten so drunk last week, he wouldn’t answer me, but it makes sense now. It must have killed him to search through photos of his parents, just to find one of my mom for me.

'Worth it,' he’d said when he saw me smile. At the time, I hadn’t realized what it had cost him to give me back those memories.

Sophia

He powers it on, and my eyes widen as the words 

“Hell no,” I murmur, trying to stand up, but Ares throws his arm around my shoulder and keeps me seated.

She draws a shaky breath and then she does the most wonderful thing. She smiles at me and leans in, a shy look in her eyes as she presses a sweet kiss to my cheek . I don’t think I’ve blushed in years, yet that’s exactly what she makes me do as she scrambles off my lap and disappears into our bedroom.

The door slides closed behind her, and I fall back onto the bed, grinning like a fool. I’m well and truly fucked.

“My wife doesn’t lift a finger in our own home — I’ll be damned if I let her lift one in yours,” I tell him, before raising our joined hands to my lips to kiss the back of her hand, my gaze unwavering.

He pulls back a little to look at me, his gaze dark. “I think I’m in love with you, Faye Windsor. If ever there was a chance I’d let you go, it’s gone now. You are mine, and you will be for the rest of your life. There’s no hiding from me. There’s no place you could go where I wouldn’t hunt you down.”

“When we composed together, it seemed like you missed playing, but I was sure you’d say no.”

“I couldn’t,” I murmur, shaking my head.

I reach for her and gently brush her hair out of her face. “Because you asked me to play.”

I take in his pained expression, the way his voice wavers, as though it kills him to even say the words. I can see it in his eyes. He thinks that losing me is inevitable.

never thought this series would be murderous haha it's so unhinged for a normal romance I love it😂

“I think your kindness was wasted on my father,” I murmur. “It’s clear he doesn’t value his life, so why should we?”

Dion chuckles, the sound a low rumble that brings a smile to my own face. He looks at me with such pride that I can’t manage to hold his gaze.

“You heard my wife. Get him out of our house, and out of our lives. Give him a chance to run, but if he doesn’t heed my words and attempts to appear in front of my wife ever again, remove him
