Veritas

"There is no shame being on your knees," I murmured. "We're still equals even when we're out of control, don't you see that?"

From the bestselling author of Lies and Rain, A.L. Woods delivers a deliciously hot enemies-to-lovers single dad standalone romance set in the Reflections Universe...

I have more money than I know what to spend it on.

The power that comes with being a partner at a law firm.

A closet-full of tailored Brioni suits.

The ugly divorce.

A daughter I love more than life itself, even if I'm not sure she's mine.

What I don't have is her.

My queen of thorns.

Maria Tavares has the paralyzing effect of a black widow disguised as a femme fatale.

She's brains and beauty, and has the audacity to f*ck around like a man without regard for feelings.

And she lives by the mantra, "hit it and quit it."

Yours truly included.

After a one-night stand six months ago, I want my formidable rose-any way I can have her.

When she comes to me needing a favor, I'm quick with a proposition she can understand: an arrangement.

Three months.

All in. Strings attached. No interferences. Titles exchanged.

Mine.

In this battle of wills, Maria will discover that I know she needs to be handled with a firm hand.

Especially while she's on her knees for me.
