Wild Side by Elsie Silver (Paperback)

A wedding was never meant to look like this. Standing across from Rhys Dupris, the man who betrayed her, she knows this marriage is nothing like the future she once imagined. But when her nephew’s guardianship is suddenly at risk, she chooses the one path that keeps him safe in Rose Hill—even if it means tying herself to a man she promised to avoid forever.

Rhys is distant, guarded, and impossible to read. He disappears for long stretches and returns marked by bruises he refuses to explain. Their conversations are clipped at best, silent at worst. Yet his eyes speak volumes, watching her with a heat she tries hard to ignore.

Sharing a home only sharpens the pull between them. Every long look, every brush of tension, makes her question the line she worked so hard to keep in place. The man she thought she hated slowly reveals a side she never expected—steady, protective, and willing to show up when it matters.

As her walls begin to shift, the truth becomes harder to deny. Rhys is nothing like the person she believed he was. And falling for her husband might be the one risk she never planned to take.
