The Deal by Stella Gray

4.0

"We don't deal in regrets."

I started and finished this book in a day. I absolutely loved it. 100% recommend it if you're into arranged marriages and a bit of an age gap. Also, one thing to keep in kind is that the Female MC is a teenager. She's not the most assertive character. It's mostly told by Victoria's POV with a few chapters being told in Stefan's POV.


~ SPOILERS/SUMMARY BELOW ~

Victoria, aka Tori, is turning eighteen in the beginning of the story. She's the daughter of a senator. For her eighteenth birthday, her father gifts her a man and marriage. This man is Stefan. He's the son of the owner of KZ Modeling.

Victoria is immediately attracted to him. She tries to please him in every turn. Stefan is a workaholic. He, of course, is attracted to her because doesn't act on his desire until layer on. He doesn't even take her virginity during their honeymoon. He's also a bit of an arsehole. He's "hot and cold" as Victoria puts it.

Victoria notices strange actions in the models of KZ Modeling doesn’t think much of it until shs over hears a conversation between Stefan's father and brother.
