"She's just my grandfather's little whore." "...I would've gotten rid of her, just like I did to her mother." The words weren't meant for her ears. But now that Sabrina Rosewood has heard them, she can never go back to being the woman who believed Richard Ashford loved her. A week before their engagement party, she learns something even worse: her mother's three-year coma was never an accident. Richard put her there — and spent the past year comforting her at the hospital bed, knowing exactly what he'd done. Sabrina wants him ruined. She wants him to lose everything he thinks he's owed. She just never expected the help to come from his cousin. William Ashford is cold, unreadable, and magnetic. He was Sabrina's closest friend as a child — before he pulled away completely the moment they grew up. Now he offers her a way out: marry him instead, take the Ashford name Richard never deserved to give her, and burn his cousin's world down piece by piece. There's only one problem. William never does anything without a reason. And Sabrina is about to find out exactly how deep William is tangled in the Ashford family's darkest secrets.
