Summary
A Standalone Billionaire, Marriage of Convenience Romance.
You want to know the secret to everlasting happiness?
Never fall in love.
That was the wisdom my father imparted to us James boys after our mom died, and it’s a piece of advice that’s served me well.
Until dear old Dad asks me for a favor over Sunday brunch. No big deal, right? I love making my old man happy. Except this “favor” is a lot more complicated than picking up his dry cleaning. Dad wants me to marry and provide a few heirs for the James empire, and he’s even done me the courtesy of handpicking my bride-to-be. Lucky me.
But if I’m being honest, I’ve grown tired of the endless cycle of dating, the constant small talk, and the ever-shrinking pool of women I haven’t already invited for a sleepover.
I’m a lawyer, so contracts are kind of my thing. And that’s all marriage really is—a contract negotiated between two parties. What could possibly go wrong?
Enter Melanie Edison, the five-foot-four brunette with curves in ALL the right places. A veterinary nurse with the smartest mouth I’ve ever heard. And I have more fun not dating her than I did dating any woman before, even with Melanie’s absurd no-sex-before-marriage rule.
But when our business arrangement becomes so much more, I end up breaking my most important rule. And that’s when it all goes to hell.
I have no idea how we can ever repair the damage that’s been done. I’m not even sure I want to. And maybe going back to my old life won’t be so hard.
Except it’s too late. I broke my rule.
And she broke me.

Loved It xx
What is not to like, there are Alphas, great women narrators, spice and a story line.
Sadie is my go to dark romance author. When you think she can’t get any better, she goes and smashes yet another story!
I am literally going to listen to this story right now even though I have just finished it!!
Nathan and Mel are just great characters, the story will make you laugh and cry! It’s just lovely!! Cannot wait until the rest of the Manhattan series is released next year!!!

Fantastic!
What a fantastic story! This is Sadie Kincaid's first book in her Manhattan Ruthless series and these James men are proving to be quite the men. Nathan James is fulfilling a request by his father to marry and carry on the James line. An arranged marriage with Melanie Edison is set, and now he is ready to get to know his betrothed. Melanie is a pleaser, carrying a burden for her family and this marriage could be the answer to their prayers. But what James doesn't know is the extent and abuse Melanie has taken. Getting to know her is not easy, both have walls, but as they spend time together, magic begins to happen. Ready to just be happy and enjoy their new found love, secrets come to light. Will it be too much for this couple? I loved Nate. While he is a difficult man, his heart is true. Melanie is a tough one, and I just wanted to make her see what she could have if she just let things go. Family is all around on both sides, and there were those I love and those I love to hate! It's the perfect mix and a fabulous listen.
Making it even better is the narration team of Aaron Shedlock and Elena Wolfe. It doesn't get better than this! Shedlock is a tough, alpha male, ready for action and sweet as pie. Love that he can bring all the different facets to light. Wolfe is Melanie, conflicted, scared, and passionate, each emotion clear and felt straight to the heart. Loved this narration!

wonderful love story
We all need a Nathan in our lives. He's loving, possessive, loyal and so protective.
I loved the family dynamics and can't wait to hear about all the brothers, in particular Maddox!
The duet narration was superbly done by Elena Wolfe and Aaron Shedlock.

Fantastic Story & Listen🎧Riveting & Emotional!
Sadie Kincaid blows me away with another amazing novel, the first in her new “Manhattan Ruthless” series and what a start it is, one that definitely leaves you wanting the next James brother’s book, pronto, Drake’s story. The series opens with Nathan James’ story, a ruthless layer and a perpetual bachelor who had no interest in settling down. That was until his father asked him to marry and have children, so there is a next generation to take over the James’ empire. He could not say no to his father and the idea was not a bad one, so he went with it, and his father already had someone in mind, Melanie Edison, whose father and now brother runs Edison Holdings. Melanie, a veterinarian nurse, wants nothing to do with the family business or her brother Bryce. Bryce is running the business to the ground, and he sees dollar signs with the idea of Melanie marrying into the James’ family and gives her an ultimatum, one that takes the choice away from her. Nathan made sure there was an ironclad contract, and the two agreed to the terms, with Melanie adding some of her own rules, including waiting to get intimate for six months. There was an undeniable chemistry between them, and they could only deny each other for so long. It was great to watch these two get to know each other and fall for one another. She was nothing like he imagined and he picked up on her reactions toward her brother, which raised some flags and she thawed his heart. But after a betrayal, their world comes crumbling down, and their relationship does too. I loved how everything played out in this book, the story is cleverly plotted with plenty of drama, angst, heartfelt emotions, and steamy romance. There are a lot of layers to this story and the world building and character growth and development are incredible. Sadie Kincaid, thank you for another exceptional story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 Elena Wolfe and Aaron Shedlock did an amazing job bringing the characters to life, humanizing them with their emotions, and giving each a voice that was fitting. I loved how they took their roles and owned them, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters to sound. Shedlock take on Nathan was perfection, grasping every aspect of his personality, from his ruthless, bossy side to his caring side and all in between. Wolfe was just as amazing in Melanie’s role, showcasing her personality perfectly. Both were fabulous performing the roles of the secondary characters, too. These two make a great team and their voices and performance complement each other and together they elevate this already amazing story to another level. Thank you for another exceptional listen.
