Analise
woke up in the hospital to find that her parents were dead. Her
father’s business partner has inherited the ranch she grew up on.
To make matters worse her father’s will stipulates she cannot
receive her inheritance until she turns twenty-one. Now penniless and
homeless, she agrees to a marriage of convenience with her father’s
business partner.
After
turning twenty-one and with her inheritance in hand, she no longer
wishes to be trapped in a loveless marriage. Moving out she builds a
life for herself away from the ranch and her husband. When her
husband shows up on her door step asking to give their marriage a
chance, she jumps at the idea of a marriage of love. The problem is:
everyone has been lying to her, her whole life. Now those lies may
very well get her killed.

Like our protagonist, Analise, I felt a little disoriented as the book began. She had been through a trauma. I was just being exposed to and learning about her situation. She had had a short lifetime, eighteen years, with her parents and now they are gone. As the book progresses we learn there were many secrets about their life she never discovered.
The man beside her in the hospital was her father's business partner. I was never quite sure of his age. Younger than her father but older than Alalise. A man she has had girlish crush on for years.
Now she finds herself in a marriage of convenience to him. She believes it is for financial reasons but is willing to make the best of it. For him, it is to keep her safe and being close to her is not an option he is willing to entertain. They move forward this way until Analiese turns twenty-one and comes into her inheritance.
Having been young and protected her entire life, living more than less in isolation, she is naive yet has an innate strength she uses to find her own way, and her own friends, when she moves out into the world. Her sense of betrayal stays with her and when she once again sees her "husband" under dubious circumstances, she is in emotional turmoil.
From the title and description we know this is a love story, but from "centaur" I wasn't sure what to expect. A shifter or a secret agent? The early secrets led me more towards the spy aspect.
The dangerous situation near the end of the book leave no doubt.
I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series to learn more about a mysterious assassin.
