Start with a Slap

"Take off your clothes." These are the first words Ivy Tyler-Mark hears from her new father-in-law, notorious billionaire Sever Mark. She came to his mansion to bridge the divide between him and her husband—not to be mistaken for a scheduled playmate. But before she can say "Stop, I'm your daughter-in-law", major boundaries are crossed. What happens next sets her down a dangerous path: He's awakened, and she has a secret to keep. Now, he wants her for himself, and he won't be satisfied until she's willingly in his bed. Ivy is far from willing: she loves her husband, she's not a cheater, and she hates everything Sever stands for. There's just one problem: their chemistry is volcanic, and they both know it. To him, it's only a matter of time. To her, it's a doomsday clock. Can she stop the clock—and herself—before it's too late? The countdown is on.
