Divorced by Mistake: Mr. Ashford's Secret Heiress
I signed my divorce papers without a fight. That was my first mistake.
His was not reading them.
For three years, I was Julian Ashford's quiet wife, a forensic accountant he never thought to ask about. He never knew I was Elara Valcourt, heiress to a fortune old enough to have its own weather. I hid my name on purpose. I wanted one man to choose me before he knew what I was worth.
Then the divorce papers arrived. The signature wasn't his. The witness had been dead for two years. I signed anyway, because my grandfather's will had one trigger: the day my marriage ends, the Valcourt fortune becomes mine.
By noon, I owned 41% of my husband's company.
Now Julian is pale, furious, and finally looking at me, swearing he never signed. Four million dollars has vanished under my name. A hidden transmitter is watching my home. A stranger keeps texting warnings that turn out to be true. And the chairman who has guided my family for forty years seems to know far too much.
I have thirty days before the will's window closes and the board votes to bury me. To find the forger, I must audit Ashford Group, and every thread leads to the man I still love.
Save him, or expose the truth and ruin him?
Someone planned this long before I picked up the pen. But they made one mistake.
He divorced the wrong woman.
