The Wrong Wife

An Arranged Marriage Romance (Golden Knights, Book 1)

Can an arranged marriage become the real thing?

Declan Knight knows he's marrying the wrong woman—the uglier sister. Esme is shorter, less experienced, less ambitious...just less in every way than his ex-fiancée, who decided to dump him for a tech bro.

When the merger between her father's and Declan's company is at stake due to obscure company bylaws, Esme has no choice but to step in and marry the man who loves her sister.

Esme's sister, Viviane, is a beautiful, high-flying, wealthy lawyer. Declan is the CEO of a global tech company. They are a power couple. Esme is a social worker who doesn't understand the business world and doesn't care about stock portfolios. She wants to help people. And yet, Declan can't deny the chemistry between him and Esme. They have nothing in common, except he wants her like he's never wanted a woman.

As the days pass, Esme has to find a way to enjoy Declan both in and out of bed without falling in love with him. Because when he leaves, as he inevitably will, it will destroy her. Declan is falling in love with his wife despite himself, drawn to her by her goodness and big heart. But she won't let him close, confident he'll hurt her.

Will Declan be able to convince Esme he loves her? And will Esme finally learn to fight for what she wants?

One of my Favorites...

Maya Alden is one of my topmost and most favorite authors and this is coming from a romance avid reader/ listener, so it says something, I guess. I have read the story before, well, several times and it is amazing, captivating. The pain and love, the passion and understanding, the obstacles and yet the resolutions between Esme and Declan were surpassing.. Audiobook was a beautiful surprise and yes, it again did not disappoint. The narrator was excellent, and I felt my mind has got a read aloud voice. Everything was perfect and you would not like to miss this wonderful presentation. Thank you Maya and team for bringing more such joys.

We hate to love

This is my first book from Maya Alden and I always seem to go back to it. Just so everyone knows this has
• Marriage Of Convenience
• Contemporary Romance
• Contemporary
• Abuse
• Billionaire Romance
• Forced Proximity
• Enemies To Lovers
• Family Drama

Almost everyone in this book is completely ungrateful, hateful to put it nicely. Book is angsty but the way they treat the FMC is so disgusting which at least this is not like every book we read. The FMC is a doormat but honestly that’s her just trying to survive her whole family, her arrange husband family and friends. I hate the way they treated her but not the emotional angry I feel from this book. Because at the end of the day that’s what the author is suppose to do. I wish it was a duet narration I would have like it better.

I read the book and loved it, loved the series.

you really needed two narrators for this book and a different narrator. it was much better read.

Love the Golden Knight Series! Very Disappointing Narration.

I have read the entire GoldenKnight Series and I love all the characters. Sadly the Audio narration was super disappointing. The Narrator didn’t bother to learn to pronounce the limited Spanish vocabulary as well as several other words. Also, the voice sounds nothing as expected for the character of Declan let alone his attempts to voice Esme. I was seriously hoping the entire Golden Knight series would be available on audiobook but definitely not with this narrator.

Omg the narrator couldn’t pronounce Calliope

Calliope is pronounced cal-eye-o-pee he kept saying calli-lo-pae. Drove me nuts. I had to download the book to check.
