"You feel so f**king good." a deep voice, one I knew all too well, grunted. I watched my husband Daniel and my assistant Esme banging each other right on my table. My hands flew to my mouth as realization dawned on me, the shock from seeing and hearing them made me shift back, stumbling against the table, and I pushed the chair backward. "Did you hear that?" I quickly dodged and stepped back from the glass view. "What?" Daniel hissed impatiently. "I think I heard-" Esme trailed off, "Never mind, just hurry up already." "No need to rush, there is still time before the b*tch lands." His statement was like a slap to my face, my ears were ringing. "Really?" "Yes, baby, a few more rounds for us." "Once she's back, I can't have you." "I know, but it's just for a while, you know it's you I love, it's her money that's keeping me." Their mixed chuckle ran across the room, traveled up my nerves, and made my heart sink to my stomach. *** When Elsie uncovers the affair between her husband and her trusted assistant, her world shatters. The dual betrayal by the man she loved for years and the assistant she relied on leave her devastated and nearly hopeless. But after the initial shock, Elsie regains her strength. She contacts a lawyer to prepare for divorce and makes a bold move- switching jobs and joining the company of her longtime rival, Albie. What starts as a search for solace turns into something much more dangerous. Albie's relentless pursuit leaves Elsie feeling increasingly drawn to him, despite her resolve. Will she lose herself in a passion she never expected, or find a new path to healing?

A brutal survivalist. A ruthless billionaire. And a marriage contract that was supposed to be a gilded cage... until she decided to move in and redecorate. After surviving two brutal years in a post-apocalyptic wasteland fighting monsters, Laura Lind is finally back in her original body. The catch? Her family has gone bankrupt, and they’ve sold her off to Julian Hayes—the notoriously cold, controlling, and terrifying CEO of Crestview Enterprises. According to the original rumor mill, Laura is supposed to hate her new life. She is supposed to fight the 24/7 surveillance, resent her bodyguards, and desperately plot a divorce, only to end up miserable. But Laura looks at her plush king-sized bed, her unlimited black card, and her yacht, and asks herself: Why on earth would I ever leave? Having fought for her life every single day, a life of doing absolutely nothing while a handsome billionaire pays the bills is her literal paradise. If Julian wants to "monitor" her, fine. He can do the heavy lifting. Besides, nobody knows she is secretly the genius mastermind behind Zephyr Capital, the wealthiest investment firm in the country. When Laura reluctantly agrees to appear on a celebrity couple's reality show, the internet prepares to pity the "miserable, caged wife." Instead, they are treated to the ultimate power dynamic shift: The Audit: Julian calls to check on her three times a day. Laura video-calls him back, forces the terrifying CEO to watch her try on thirty-two designer outfits, and demands a unique, ten-line compliment for each. The Vetting: Julian tries to restrict her contact list. Laura forwards every handsome stranger who tries to flirt with her directly to Julian’s personal line for "husband vetting." But when Laura’s family suddenly recovers their fortune and the "rightful" woman appears, Laura decides her retirement era is over. She packs her bags and sighs, "I understand, Julian. I’ll pack up and leave so you two can be happy." But the ruthless billionaire slams the door shut, locking her in his arms with a dark, obsessive gaze. "Say 'husband' again, Laura. Because you are never leaving this room."
