Blurb

My husband watched his mother turn me into a scandal in front of half the city. He didn't say a word.

The night before my wedding, in the company of friends, I raised a glass of champagne and made a joke for the handful of people who loved me: I'm only marrying Connor Kingsley for the money. Everyone who was with me laughed, because they all knew better.

Six years later, my mother-in-law played that clip on a ballroom screen so that everyone would see me as the gold digger she’s making me out to be.

Connor stood right beside me while she did it in front of everyone. The husband I've loved for six years leaned down and said simply: We'll discuss this privately.

So I left the Kingsley diamonds on the table and walked out on all of it—the marriage, the family, and the empire that spent six years dressing me, telling me what to do, where to go, and erasing my name.

Three blocks from their flagship hotel sits the one thing that's still mine: my grandmother's hotel, shuttered for five years.

I still have the keys. I'm taking back Bennett House, and I'm taking back my name.

But Connor is out of time. His grandfather is dying, the Founders' Jubilee is coming, and his mother has already picked my replacement: a polished, old-money beauty raised from birth to be everything I refused to become.

Now he has one chance to stand up in the same ballroom, in front of every person who watched me fall, and say what he should have said that night.

If he stays silent, he loses me forever. If he speaks, he loses the empire.

He can't keep both. And this time, the whole city is watching.

No cheating, a grovel that costs him everything he has, and a hard-won happily-ever-after. A standalone novel in the Hers to Forgive series—each book can be read on its own.
