'Til Death by Bella Jewel is the first book in her new series also titled 'Til Death. 
 In this first installment we meet Marcus and Katia. From the dual POV's we know that Marcus is being coerced into marrying by his recently deceased grandfather via his grandfather's last will & testament. We know all about the why's of what he is doing and it makes it kinda hard to truly HATE him. Dislike? Sure, but not HATE. 
 "Marcus," I breathe. "You're destroying me. You're taking everything I am and twisting it. You're... ruining me." 
 "I know, precious," he whispers.~ Katia 
 Katia falls passionately in love with Marcus but not right away. She doesn't buy into his money and unlike every other woman he's been with, she doesn't lick his boots and acquiesce to his every wish. He definitely has to work for her affections. This makes it hard to be frustrated with her for falling for his BS as he works hard to win her hand in marriage. He really wants his grandfathers company to be signed over to him and NOT Walter, the man currently in charge on paper. 
 Marcus cannot remain closed off forever and Katia will eventually realize he is just putting on a show. The closer she gets to giving up on him, the more he begins to have feelings for this woman he married. He never intended for her to be hurt and truly believed that he was doing her a favor. He made life easier for her and her sick mother, and while he is using her, he is not deliberately cruel (usually). His walls begin to break down... 
 I realize, with sudden clarity, that Marcus Tandem is making love to me.~ Katia 
 It's a shame that life doesn't stay on an upswing. Bad things happen and despite the change in dynamics between the two of them, the secret of Marcus' reasoning behind getting married is revealed to Katia and things go from bad to worse. 
 "You don't f*^#ing see it, do you, Mack? Even I can see it so clearly now." 
 "See What?" 
 I turn and stare at the empty space, the space where my wife was standing only five minutes ago as I ripped her world apart. 
 "She was everything."~ Marcus
