Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Aaron had a hunch. Something didn't sit right with him, and he couldn't shake it.

Just as he was about to reach out and share his suspicion with Alistair, the call

came in first-Alistair's voice on the other end, calm but earnest, asking for a favor.

Alistair had "Bane Breaker," sure, but that didn't mean he was going to sit on his

hands while someone framed him.

Meanwhile, Aaron owed Alistair, and he'd been looking for a way to return the

favor. Now that Alistair had asked, Aaron jumped at the chance.

Caroline was also working the case, but her focus had always been on Paige and

the Morgan family. That caused her to overlook someone on the periphery, the

cousin of the driver. A man who, on paper, had no contact with the suspect for

years.

Aaron trusted his gut. And his gut told him to keep an eye on that cousin's entire

household. Sure enough, something surfaced.

If Caroline operated like a surgeon with a steady hand, cutting clean and deep,

then Aaron was the field medic, quick, decisive, and just as effective when time

was tight.

One brought precision. The other brought speed. Together, they made it work.

Even after the true culprit had been identified and arrested, Caroline didn't stop.

Her instincts told her this wasn't just a simple hit-and-run. There were deeper

strings behind it, strings that led straight to the Morgans and to Paige.

He slipped into a dry, analytical tone, like a detective building his case. "Then one

day, her world starts to crack. She discovers something about him. But he's gotten
