Obligation by Gemma Weir - signed paperback - dark forced marriage romance - book 2 in the Alphaholes series

Obligation - an act or course of action to which a person is morally or legally bound; a duty or commitment. As soon as I saw her, I knew exactly who she was. A snake, born with venom in her blood and poison in her veins. I’m Clay Jansen, a king among men. But wearing the crown means dealing with the duty and expectation that’s been mine since birth. January Burke is nothing more than an obligation; a business deal that was sealed with vows not contracts. But my poisonous new bride is a snake, bred from a den of vipers. Family expectation might have forced me to entwine my life with hers, but I won’t be taken in by the good girl façade she’s wearing. So I watch her. Play with her until I know every move she makes, and every word she says. But once I see her, it’s impossible to look away. Freedom is all she craves and the only thing I can’t give her. I should let her go, but I couldn’t if I tried. Obligation has become obsession… and she’s all mine.
