Books like Jed Hunter's Reluctant Bride by Susanne James
When 25‑year‑old Cryssie receives a job offer from powerful CEO Jed Hunter, 36, she knows his reputation for ruthlessness and his ability to attract women.

As their professional relationship intensifies, Jed’s demands grow: an unexpected marriage proposal intended to strengthen the merger. Cryssie, with a sister and nephew to support, faces a dilemma that pits her love for an unpredictable man against the stability a marriage could provide. Will she give up the woman she trusts, or will she marry a man who may never warm to her cold heart?
The story explores modern corporate politics, the complexities of blending business with personal life, and the passionate choice between true love and practical survival.
