He called me a liability in front of the whole room.
nHe did not know I was carrying his baby.
nDominic Archer was the man I was never supposed to love.
nOur fathers were enemies.
nOur families hated each other.
nAnd years ago, Dominic and I made a foolish pact.
nIf he was not married by thirty-five, I would become his bride.
nBut when the time came, I chose my career.
nHe chose another woman.
nNow his marriage is falling apart, his cold ex-wife wants revenge, and I am the scandal standing in the middle of his empire.
nAt a rich Manhattan gala, someone frames me for leaking secret company files.
nDominic has one chance to protect me.
nInstead, he stands beside his wife, looks me in the eye, and calls me a liability.
nIn front of cameras.
nIn front of investors.
nIn front of everyone who already wanted to see me fall.
nSo I walk away.
nBut I do not walk away empty.
nI am pregnant.
nAnd the secret inside me is about to become the weapon his family uses to destroy me.
nHis ex-wife wants to paint me as the other woman.
nHis father wants my baby under the Archer name.
nMy brother wants me far away from Dominic.
nAnd Everett Shaw, the calm billionaire who saves me when Dominic breaks me, offers me the one thing Dominic never did.
nPeace.
nBut peace is not the same as love.
nAnd Dominic is not done paying for what he did.
nHe gives up power.
nHe takes public blame.
nHe kneels where the world can see.
nHe offers me his name, his fortune, and a way out.
nBut I do not need a man to save me.
nI need the truth.
nBecause behind the fake leak, the cruel headlines, and the baby scandal, there is a darker secret buried by our fathers.
nA hidden child.
nA stolen file.
nA family war built on lies.
nAnd a love that may not survive the truth.
nDominic says he loves me.
nBut love is not enough.
nNot after he chose his empire before me.
nIf he wants me back, he will have to do more than beg.
