The marriage is only supposed to be for show, but Archer can be very convincing. He's demanded we move in together. That we kiss. That we make it look—and feel—real. He's a man who is obsessed with getting what he wants—and I'm starting to think what he wants is me.

Pretty Rings and Broken Things is a billionaire, arranged marriage romance.

Sometimes designed objects reject their users: a computer mouse that doesn't work for left-handed people, for example, or a touchscreen payment system that only works for people who read English phrases, have 20/20 vision, and use a credit card. These mismatches are the building blocks of exclusion. In Mismatch, Kat Holmes describes how design can lead to exclusion, and how design can also remedy exclusion.

I snuck into Miami's most elite mafia gala pretending to be a Russian heiress. My mission? Expose the Bratva king who's buying up the city in blood and blackmail. But Renat Rostov doesn't just see the truth—he owns it. He sees through my fake name. My fake diamonds. My fake confidence. And instead of turning me in… he turns me on. Now I'm in too deep—in his mansion, his bed, and his crosshairs. There are rules here: Never lie to the Pakhan. Never touch what doesn't belong to you. Never betray the Bratva. I've already broken all three.
