Gild (The Plated Prisoner, #1)

by Raven Kennedy

You can pretend a lot of things in life. You can pretend so well that you even start to believe your own deceit. We’re all actors; we’re all on pedestals with a spotlight shining on us, playing whatever part we need to in order to make it through the day—in order to help ourselves sleep at night.

Men making deals on the behalf of women never seems to go very well for the women.

but I want you to know that I adore you more than all the waves in the sea.
