On the day Ethan Cross handed Ava divorce papers, he thought he was getting rid of a useless wife. He was wrong. For three years, Ava quietly fixed the mistakes that built his empire, protected the deals that made him rich, and loved a man who never once realized her worth. Then he chose her cousin. Ava walked away without tears, without a fight, and without taking a single dollar she didn’t want. Eleven days later, Ethan learns the truth. The woman he threw away is the missing granddaughter of the Blackwood Empire, one of the most powerful families in the country, and she is done being the quiet mind behind someone else’s throne. By then, it’s too late. Because anyone who breaks Ava’s heart gets one chance to do it. And Ethan already used his.

Five years ago, his mate walked out the door and never looked back,leaving him with a newborn and a hole where his heart used.
