She was erased. Now she has returned to ensure that no one will ever forget her name again. Elena Voss was seventeen when her father died, twenty-five when her husband signed her divorce papers, and nobody when his family tossed her out of the Cross house. They told her that she was a lying gold-digger, that she brought shame to the Cross name. Well, they were wrong. Because now, five years later, Elena comes back with a blood-red vengeance as the controlling majority shareholder of the company that tossed her out- and she's here to remind them who really wears the pants in the family. Damian Cross is stunned when she appears in his office. He barely recognizes her. The woman standing before him is nothing like the pliant little bride he'd tossed away five years earlier, and a strange possessive anger rises in his throat. What would it take, he wonders, to make her his again? Elena, however, has no interest in his regrets. As she digs into the financial records of Cross Industries, she discovers a labyrinth of forged embezzlement charges, a greedy mother-in-law who has been robbing her blind, and a thirty-year-old secret that may well implicate her own father in his murder. Between the two of them, Damian and Elena uncover a trail of lies that leads right back to the Cross family vault-and to an inheritance that was never meant to be Elena's. With enemies on both sides, Elena and Damian form an uneasy alliance as they pick through the bones of the past. Every secret they unearth threatens to pull them back into the passion that nearly destroyed them before, but the ghosts of that fateful summer are the last thing on either of their minds. Because while Elena Voss has spent five years reconstructing her life, preparing to come back with brutal precision to the man who wrecked it for her, she never stopped to consider that she might fall for him all over again. The wife he threw away will return with a controlling majority share of Cross Industries. The war between them has only just begun. From boardroom battles to a scorching all-consuming passion, THE WIFE HE ERASED is a story of betrayal, revenge, and a second chance at love that neither of them could have foreseen. Some people build a new life to leave behind the past. Elena built her future to come back for what was hers. She did not realize that she would fall in love with the one person who had it all.
