What The Cozakis Bride is like to read

A category-romance pressure cooker: forced marriage, a vengeful groom nursing a decade-old wound, and the slow reveal that his central grievance was a lie. The stakes are intimate and emotional — her mother's health, his pride, a wedding-night discovery. Best for: readers who want classic Harlequin Presents beats — marriage of convenience, wounded alpha hero, virginity twist.
