Ruby is the second book in the Bliss Contracts series.
Need a wife in a hurry? Millionaire Partner, Inc. is here for you! Find the perfect companion to fulfill your needs, whether you’re looking for love or something else. * * * *** * * *
ALEXANDER The thefts I’m commissioned to do are getting harder. It doesn’t matter that the people I rob are the true thieves.
Without a doubt, I’ll land in prison if caught. A beautiful woman on my arm at high-class parties would be a good distraction and help provide cover when I slip away, especially if she can’t testify against me if we’re caught.
A wife would suit my purposes, but I need one I can control fully. With the help of Millionaire Partner, Inc. I’ll find the woman I can master both in business and the bedroom.
FELICIA It’s so damn hard making a living as an older model—not that I’m old, but anything above twenty is considered over the hill. With no family to fall back on and very few people I can trust in the competitive world I live in, a marriage contract might be what I need. Some rich, romantically inept geezer can pay for everything needed to keep my lavish lifestyle.
It’s not like I’m against using my body to get what I want. I’ll blow his mind and my new sugar daddy will never want to let me go. I’m ready to be mastered.
Please Note: Ruby contains more love scenes than Chantel's regular books. It involves a consensual dom/sub relationship as an important element to the story.

Loved it! The second book in the series didn't disappoint. It was sexy with a bit of intrigue. Alex needed a wife to distract, he found Felicia (Ruby), and they had instant chemistry. Felicia was used by Harry and with Alex and his family's support, she got her confidence back and felt worthy again; she in turn acted the loving wife; however, it didn't take long for them to realize it wasn't an act, they found their true love. There were more sex scenes than usual and a bit graphic, but they were tastefully written. I really enjoyed this story and cannot wait to read the next book in the series. " I received a beta copy from the author, and I am voluntarily reviewing this book."
Alexander was looking for a wife and found a partner. Felicia needed to find someone who would protect her and, in the end, make her a rich woman. How this all works out is the story in this book. He had various ways of making his millions and she was out of option with her modeling career – age had taken its toll. He was in control in the bedroom but she was the master of his heart. It’s a modern-day Mail Order Bride with twists, mystery and romance. It’s an enjoyable story-line that moves quickly and you have an HEA.
I enjoyed Alex and Felicia's story. It was a heartbreaking journey of low self-esteem, eating disorders and trust issues. There was also partner swapping and a murder! I appreciate the author's perspective on topics I knew little about. The characters' problems are real and the characters were likeable. The journey was worth the deserved HEA.
Great book! The way she addressed and dealt with the issue of anorexia was awesome! My sister suffers from this disease and it is horrible. I loved the characters and the way they were so tender with each other. I am excited to read the rest of this series
Wow. This book had everything. Low self-esteem, eating disorder, as well as a hero who cared a lot more than he seemed. This is what I like about Chantel Rhondeau's stories. They deal with real people who have real issues, but also show how people basically care about each other, even when they fight not to.
The hero, Alexander, thought he'd simply get a bride for hire to help him with his "work." But when he ends up with Felicia, he realizes she might look great on the outside, but is fighting self-esteem and eating disorders on the inside.
Their love story is sweet and inspiring, and it turns out that each of them cared more than they thought they would. I love how they teamed up and looked out for each other, and how love can come from that little spark in good that is in each person.
Thanks for writing about eating disorders. I've recently lost a lot of weight and realized how easy it is to fall into be obsessed with eating or not eating. It's a small semblance of control we have in a world where we don't have much control, and therefore, it is an especially tricky "problem" to have.
I loved the characters, the romance, and the story line of this book. It was very exciting and sentimental at the same time. I can't wait for Chantel's next new book. 💜
