Claimed As His by Sam Crescent, Jenika Snow

First came marriage, then came a baby, then came the drama of being a mail order bride. Lucy had become a mail order bride, and although she should’ve backed out she was lonely. Upon first meeting Ian his arrogance got under her skin. She should have left right then, but her attraction to him went deeper. And so she found herself staying married to a man who was used to getting what he wanted, when he wanted it. But what he didn’t know about her was that Lucy wouldn’t bend to his will. And what she would soon find out was that Ian got turned on by that. But the longer they’re married the more she sees that he is a good guy who got a bad rap. And her attraction soon grows to love. Even if she has no intentions of leaving Ian, his family has other plans, ones that don’t include Lucy.

All Ian wanted to do was humiliate his parents. He wanted a bride that came from a poor background, had no connections and nothing to offer the family name. She’d be his choice, not theirs, so finding the mail order bride website was a saving grace to him. The moment he saw Lucy, he knew his plan would work. His parents wouldn’t see her as perfect, and to him that was all he needed. What Ian never expected was the overwhelming need to protect her. He didn’t want his vile family to hurt Lucy, and even though he could be an asshole, he couldn’t bring himself to disregard her. However, his plan is already in motion. But he can prove to Lucy that no matter what, he loves her more than anything. He doesn’t just want to use her for revenge, he wants her for life and to have a real family. That’s what he’s always craved.
