He’s my best friend’s brother.

My billionaire boss.

And now… my fake husband

I walked into his restaurant needing a paycheck.
Now I’m his fake wife.
And if I’m not careful, I might just fall for the man I hate.

James Hamilton is grumpy. Emotionally unavailable. Impossible to reach.
He’s also my best friend’s brother.
The man who broke my heart without even trying.
Now he’s a world-famous chef. Well known for his brilliance.

Working for him is my chance at the career of my dreams.
But when he calls me out in front of his entire staff.
I decide to leave.
But James stops me with an offer I never saw coming.
A marriage of convenience to secure the future of his culinary empire.

In return, he will pay off my debts and help my family.
I should refuse.
Instead, I say yes.

His rules are simple.
This is a contract.
There will be no feelings.
No expectations.
No future.

I agree to keep things strictly professional.
But the longer I share his home and answer to the title of his wife, the harder it is to pretend this is just business.

And when he lets me see the man behind the reputation,
I start to wonder if this fake marriage is the most real thing I have ever known...

A book boyfriend worth sinking your heart into. From spicy temptation to sweet romance, Harper and James blow the soul wide open. Steele turns complicated into irresistible.

"He’s the man who is about to teach her that the most dangerous place to be is near him." 🐆🖤

"I’m not the man for you."

The Unwilling Love (The Hamiltons) by L. Steele is HERE!

"It's not the words but the feelings they emote. From the heat of passion to the soul of romance, The Unwilling Love is the start of something new." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)

James Hamilton is a Royal Marine who has seen the darkest parts of the world, and he’s determined to keep Harper away from his shadows. But Harper isn’t looking for a perfect hero—she’s looking for him.

****

James Hamilton is the definition of off-limits. He’s cynical, jaded, and way too protective of his sister’s best friend. But when the air crackles between them, it’s clear his instincts are anything but brotherly.

READ THE EXCERPT: 📖

“He cups my cheek and lowers his head. I close my eyes, tip up my chin, and feel the warmth of his breath on my cheek, on my lips. Then just like that, it’s gone. And so is his touch.

I snap my eyes open, to find him looking at me with a tortured expression in his eyes. 'I can’t, Harper... someone who’d taint your innocence, someone who’d drag you down into the darkness with him. I’m not the man for you.'

'But what if you were?' I swallow. 'What if you were the man I was waiting for.'”

Don't miss this emotionally charged, slow-burn prequel to The Unwilling Bride!

Blurb:

Grant

I built my global security empire from nothing. Control and discipline are the only rules I live by. Some might call me ‘intense’. I prefer ‘meticulously prepared for every disaster imaginable.’

Growing up in a group home with my two brothers taught me the only lesson that mattered: never let anyone close enough to hurt you. As a CEO, I don’t improvise. I plan. I command.

When I’m hired to provide security for an engagement party, I expect an easy job.

Instead, I meet a woman who treats my rules like optional suggestions. I’m used to being obeyed. Ruby clearly doesn’t plan on doing that. Not even a little.

She tempts me like no one else ever has. Whenever we’re together, my thoughts drift in dangerous directions. Wanting her becomes an obsession. I want to give her everything. But surrendering control means breaking my own rules. And I’ve never done that before.

Ruby

I love my restaurant, my life, and finding the bright side of just about everything. Hosting my best friend’s engagement party? Easy. Fun. Right up my alley.

What I’m not prepared for is Grant Clifford—and his many, many rules.

He’s a fine specimen of a man. Unfortunately, he also comes with a massive stick lodged firmly up his gorgeous behind. Under that perfectly tailored suit is a man who desperately needs to loosen up. Preferably with me.

The closer I get, the more clearly I see the scars beneath his rigid exterior. And I want to heal them all. But how do I reach a man who refuses to let anyone in?
