The Collision

The Collision

Book One of the Casanova Series

Nell Hartley took the housekeeping job at the glass house above West Vancouver for her mother’s medical bills. She had no plan to end up on the kitchen floor with Callum Ashworth, the port heir who never brings the same woman home twice. Six weeks later she was staring at two pink lines.

Callum doesn’t lose, and he has already worked out how to win this. He offers Nell a contract: marry him, carry the baby, and stay eighteen months. After that she can leave with enough money to cover her mother’s care and start over. The child stays with him.

The terms are cold and airtight, and Nell signs. Then Callum starts coming home for lunch. He learns how she takes her tea. A stranger begins photographing her through the windows, and a society rival finds the one document that could ruin them both.

Nell has spent her life waiting for people to leave, and she keeps a bag half packed just in case. Callum has never had to ask anyone to stay.

A dark, slow-burn contract marriage romance with a possessive hero, a heroine who won’t be bought, and a love that was never part of the deal.
