Mara Reyes came to Luca Moretti’s wedding to destroy his family—not to marry him. A suspended building-safety auditor, Mara has spent years trying to prove that the Moretti Group buried the truth about Harbor Nine, the deadly housing disaster that claimed her father and ruined her career. When she interrupts the billionaire heir’s wedding with damning evidence, the bride walks out, the board turns against Luca, and the Moretti empire begins to fracture. Then Luca offers Mara an impossible deal: become his wife for 180 days. He keeps control of the company. She receives unrestricted access to the records that could expose everyone responsible. Their marriage has rules: separate rooms, no public betrayal, and absolutely no falling in love. But evidence begins to disappear. Witnesses are silenced. Someone inside the Moretti family wants Mara gone—and Luca keeps risking everything to protect the woman who swore to ruin him. The closer Mara gets to the truth, the harder it becomes to decide whether her husband is her enemy, her shield, or another expertly constructed lie. Luca may be the only man willing to burn his empire for justice. But he is hiding one secret that could destroy Mara all over again. If she exposes him, she may finally avenge her father. If she trusts him, she may lose far more than her heart.

For three years, Evelyn Carter gave up everything for her husband. She abandoned her career, hid her powerful family background, and devoted herself to helping Ethan Carter build his struggling company from the ground up. She believed their marriage was built on love. Until the night of their anniversary, when Ethan placed a divorce agreement in front of her. His reason was simple. He had fallen in love with Vanessa Reed—the daughter of a wealthy investor who could take his company to the next level. To Ethan, Evelyn was nothing more than an ordinary housewife with no money, no status, and no future. Heartbroken but unwilling to beg, Evelyn signed the papers and walked away with nothing. The next morning, the business world was shaken by unexpected news. The long-lost heiress of the Sinclair Empire had finally returned. Her real name was Evelyn Sinclair. She was the sole successor to a global corporation worth more than ten billion dollars. When Evelyn appeared at an international business summit as the new chairwoman of Sinclair Global, Ethan finally realized the truth. The woman he had abandoned was now powerful enough to destroy everything he had built. But Evelyn did not return to win him back. She returned to make him regret ever breaking her heart. And standing beside her was Adrian Blackwood, the cold and untouchable billionaire who had waited years for her return. Ethan wanted forgiveness. Vanessa wanted Evelyn destroyed. Adrian wanted Evelyn’s heart. But Evelyn wanted only one thing. Revenge.
