Blurb

She’s months into her marriage with a billionaire, feeling neglected.

Then she finds a women’s scarf on her husband’s dresser.

After that, she gets

a photo of him, in a bed with

another woman.

It’s his

ex. T

he woman his family always wanted him to marry.

Elizabeth never expected to marry JarecFairweather.

Her dying father arranged it to settle an old family debt and keep her safe - a marriage on paper, to a husband who looks straight through her.

But slowly, their arrangement turned into something real. A kiss in a storm. His hands in the dark, taking her innocence.

Against her better judgment, Elizabeth lets herself fall in love with him. She thought he felt the same.

But the other woman won’t let it last. Over coffee, she shows Elizabeth the photo and twists the knife:

Elizabeth was never a real wife. Just a convenient virgin. A placeholder. A debt to be paid.

Elizabeth doesn’t scream. She doesn’t beg.

She leaves her wedding ring on the table, a note beside it, and disappears to a cottage by the sea.

Now Jarec wants her back.

He swears none of it was real - the scarf his mother planted, the photo his ex had kept from years ago, the whole performance staged to drive her out.

Maybe it’s true. But it changes nothing. He still let her feel worthless, and

he never once fought for her.

White roses arrive at her door. He waits in the rain outside her cottage. The cold man who ignored her is finally on his knees.

But Elizabeth isn’t the girl who waited anymore. She has a name of her own now - and a husband who’ll have to earn every inch of his way back.

If she lets him back at all.

For the first time in her life, she belongs to no one but herself.
