Scarlett Brownie has spent her entire life surviving her troubled past. She sold her body for financial security, because that was her only way out. She knows exactly what it means to be desperate. But when her ruthless boss comes close to ending her life over a debt she can't repay, Scarlett expects to die in a dark parking lot. Instead, Jude Ryder, a young billionaire and heir saves her. Unfortunately, saving her comes with a price. Jude has just been humiliated by the woman he was supposed to marry. Their engagement is over, but his powerful family can't know the truth, not when his father's approval is the only thing standing between him and control of the family empire. Then Scarlett falls into his path. She's desperate. She's beautiful. She has no influential family, no reputation to protect, and most importantly, she owes him everything. So Jude makes her an offer she can't refuse. Marry him. But this won't be an ordinary marriage. Their marriage will be open, but only for Jude. He can see other women whenever he wants. Scarlett, however, is expected to remain completely faithful. In exchange, Jude will give her the money and security she has never had. For Scarlett, it seems like a fair price for freedom until she enters the Ryder family. Jude quickly proves that being his wife doesn't mean being loved. While he parades other women in and out of their marriage, Scarlett finds herself drawn to the one man she wasn't supposed to be around, the powerful Torren Ryder. Jude’s father. And the attraction is impossible to ignore. Worse, he's not the only one watching her. Jude's younger brother begins to fall for her too, turning Scarlett's carefully controlled marriage into a dangerous web of secrets, forbidden attraction, and betrayal. But Scarlett's biggest mistake isn't falling for the wrong men. It's what happens when she discovers she's pregnant. Now three Ryder men are ready to claim a place in the child's future. And none of them knows who the father is. As the secrets surrounding her marriage begin to unravel, Scarlett must decide how much she is willing to risk for the one thing she has never truly had, a family of her own. Because in the Ryder family, love isn't the only thing that can destroy a marriage. Secrets can, too.
