An Abominable Attraction

Rina Gold thought she had her future mapped out. Engaged to her longtime love, Luke Smith, she was ready to share the news with her family and step into the life she always dreamed of. But on the very day she plans to announce her engagement, her world shatters—her parents reveal she has already been promised to another man. A marriage, sealed long ago, binds her to a reclusive billionaire whose fortune alone can erase her family’s crushing debt and save her father’s life. The next day, Rina is forced into a wedding she never wanted. Her new husband, Klaus Garrison, a brilliant but enigmatic man who has lived his life in silence due to deafness, is as cold and unyielding as the vows they are bound by. Their marriage is nothing but a battlefield of clashing wills, until an unconventional solution is proposed: an open marriage that keeps them legally tied while allowing them freedom outside their home. But what begins as a desperate compromise soon turns into something neither expected. Boundaries blur. Jealousy burns. And in the midst of chaos, a forbidden spark ignites—a dangerous attraction that threatens to turn their sham of a marriage into the love story they never saw coming.
