The Kiss Thief (Deluxe Edition) — L.J. Shen

A ruthless deal, a stolen future, and a romance forged in defiance. Francesca Rossi has spent her life under her father’s control, but nothing prepares her for being promised to Senator Wolfe Keaton — a powerful, calculating man twice her age with secrets as sharp as his ambition. What begins as a cold, strategic marriage ignites into a volatile battle of wills, desire, and control, where neither is willing to surrender. Darkly seductive and emotionally charged, The Kiss Thief delivers a provocative romance where love is claimed, challenged, and fought for.
