She’s renewing her vows to her husband when the other woman interrupts.
His assistant. Five months pregnant.
“I’m carrying your husband’s baby.”
Everyone she knows sees it. Someone films it. By morning, Elise is the most humiliated woman on the internet.
Her husband, Connor, cheated for over a year. He rented an apartment downtown and drained money she never saw - all while she planned their vow renewal. Even his own mother blames Elise.
Then the last person she expects knocks on her door.
Dominic. Connor’s older brother - the family black sheep. He shows up when Elise is at her lowest, brings her food, and looks at her like she was never the problem. Then he hands her the name of the most ruthless divorce lawyer in the city.
So Elise fights back. She wins the house, a piece of the company she gave up her own career to help build, and walks away with her head high.
But Dominic is hiding something of his own: he’s wanted her for six years.
Falling for her ex-husband’s brother breaks every rule. It means war with the family that already tried to bury her. Still, the more Connor’s world burns down, the more Dominic feels like the only real thing left.
Connor threw her away. The internet called her pathetic. Everyone expected her to break.
She didn’t.
This time, Elise chooses herself - and the forbidden man who chose her first.
