Five years ago, Elrissa Roberts watched her paralyzed father fall to his death from a twentieth-floor railing; the police immediately closed the case as a mystery, leaving her broken and alone. Desperate for a fresh start, she married Jayden McMahon; the charming man who had promised to protect and heal her shattered world but it was all a lie. On the dual anniversary of her marriage and her father's death, Elrissa uncovers the ultimate betrayal. She catches Jayden in an act of infidelity with his secretary, right on his office desk and when she lashes out in a rage, his mask slips completely and Jayden reveals a legal "poison pill" hidden inside their prenuptial agreement designed to leave her bankrupt if she ever files for divorce. He leaves her with a chilling warning: stay quiet, or end up in a body bag just like her father. The next morning, he freezes her bank accounts, beats her up and has his guards throw her out into the freezing rain empty-handed. With all her fortune stolen, her reputation publicly smeared by the press, and a target on her back, Elrissa hits rock bottom. But a chance collision at the business dinner, ties her fate to Darian Visconti, the ruthless multi-billionaire tycoon whose power completely overshadows her ex-husband's empire. Darian Visconti, a cold king with a dark past is fiercely protective of his four-year-old son, Ronar, who is deeply traumatized by his own mother's tragic death. And when Ronar naturally tilts toward Elrissa and she becomes the only one who can soothe the boy's severe panic attacks, Darian sees his chance. He offers Elrissa a "marriage of convenience" contract: she becomes the protective mother his son desperately needs, and in exchange, he unleashes his limitless resources, wealth, and dangerous black-ops vanguard to help her destroy Jayden. Now what started as a cold, transactional alliance with no strings attached turns into a dark, possessive battlefield. Working together from the shadows, Elrissa and Darian begin to dismantle Jayden’s corporate empire from the inside out, only to uncover the horrific truth of what happened on the twentieth floor five years ago. The lines between revenge and real love begin to blur. Jayden took her home, her fortune, and her father's life but he left her breathing and with the most powerful man in New York City standing right behind her, Elrissa is going to make sure that was the last mistake Jayden McMahon ever makes.
