Married to the Boss: A Love in Disguise by Ava Green

Growing up with Ruby and Harry since childhood, Lumma knew what were worried about.

She smiled. “Don’t worry. guys. I’m not the old Lumma anymore. I know what I’m doing. Lucas is my legal husband, and I’m his legal wife. He’s nice to me, and I want to be nice to him. I’ve thought about it. When we meet, I’ll tell him the truth. If he minds my past and doesn’t want to live with me, I’ll respect his choice.”

Harry supported Lumma’s decision. “No matter what, you have to protect yourself and don’t let anyone who isn’t worth it hurt you.”

Ruby added, “Remember that we will always be by your side.”

“I know,” Lumma replied.
