The Devious Husband by Catharina Maura
3.75

"I'll never want you, not in a million years."
"Then I'll wait a million years and a day, Kitten. I'll wait forever if I need to, so long as you understand that you're mine as much as I'm yours."

- arranged marriage
- enemies to lovers
- he falls first and harder
- forced proximity
- 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
- dual pov

The Windsors have come to an end. Catharina knows how to write a possessive and jealous man OBSESSED, and that is Xavier Kingston. He's been obsessed with Sierra for years and can't quite believe his luck when he marries her. 

"In what world does someone like me get to marry Sierra Windsor?"

She doesn't make life easy for him, but he shows her how much he's always cared for her – dressing to match for YEARS, creating a home library stocked with her favourite books (and reading them), and acquiring properties (that spell her name 🫠). And once Sierra falls, she's all in, accepting all of Xavier – the good and the bad because he has a dark past.

There's a little drama (as always) that tests their relationship. But I love how they resolve things. Once again, Xavier shows his feelings in the sweetest way.
