He fired me, divorced, me, and kissed his mistress in front of me, all before lunch. By dinner, I was sleeping with his ruthless father. Imogen thought a year of marriage might soften Davian Cadmus’ heart; she was wrong. On the day their contract ends, he discards her without a second thought, leaving her jobless, loveless, and the laughing stock of society. But Imogen has one card left to play; Alaric Cadmus, Davian’s father and the true power behind the family’s empire. Alaric Cadmus has always watched Imogen from a distance. She is the daughter of his best friend, and the wife of his eldest son; they have always been separated by the walls of society, and he has been content with simply admiring her. Until Imogen tries to seduce him in a bid to get revenge on her ex-husband. Now, Alaric is granted his greatest wish; Imogen as his one and only woman. No one will be allowed to get between them; not even his son. As revenge unfolds and passions ignite, the both of them discover the scars they hide from the world, and their alliance could destroy the very family they seek to rule.
