A tyrant by day, a playboy by night. That's the reputation that precedes Richard VanRyan. He lives life the way he wants, no concern for the opinion of others. He cares for no one, is completely unrepentant, and has no desire to change his ways.

Katharine Elliott works under Richard as his PA. She despises him and his questionable ethics, but endures all the garbage he sends her way, because she needs the job. Her end goal is far more important than the daily abuse and demands she tolerates from her nasty tyrant of a boss. Until the day he asks her for something she never expected. A new role with a personal contract-fiancée instead of PA.

What happens when two people who loathe each other have to live together and act as though they are madly in love? Sparks. That's what happens.

Can the power of love really change a person?

Will they survive the contract?

What do you do when the one person you hate the most becomes the one person you can't live without?

It's rare when I feel so emotional with a book these days, normally many romance novels are repetitive always about tragedy, but this book was real. And the author was able to express how one person can change and make a difference with unconditional love.

Real!!!

My first Melanie Moreland's book and I was blown away. Richard went from being a despicable person to the most caring husband is something that I will never get over. The narrator done a support job too, delivered with such emotion I cry so much during listening. Highly recommended

Such a beautiful love story

I liked this book but I'm not a fan of how John Lane reads plural things. Example: Kisses was pronounced kiss-ies and touches was pronounced touch-ies. I thought it was weird. However, I love the story and just finished it fir the second time. I'll still likely listen to it again.

great story but words some pronounced weird

If you're looking for a decent HEA story this one may be for you. This story had been in my wish list for a while and I'm glad I finally got around to listening to it.

Arrogance, forgiveness, innocence and love all wrapped up in this story. This is a story that you can enjoy.

HEA story

I really like this book Richard with a real ass and funny sarcastic abrupt and rude no consider for anything and Katie was sweet kind compassionate inconsiderate. 2 people who are totally opposite from each other however they find their way and an emotional wreck from their past to the present. I really enjoyed the book and I felt that the narrator's did a great job on expressing the feelings not going to lie I cried and I don't do that often it was a cute enjoyable book this is not a book with alot of sex but about two people making a deal to work it out.

hate to love

Honesty isn’t always easy, and growth is sometimes very painful but the author captured it in a good story. Intimacy seemed a little rushed considering the heroine’s experience but sometimes I guess life is like that. Good narration!

Good story of redemption...
