The moms at the company post about me online, claiming the free daycare I provide for their kids is a "prison" and a vile tactic to force them to work overtime. What they don't know is that the daycare was set up with imported equipment and staffed by internationally trained professionals. It costs nearly eight thousand dollars a month per child to operate. The internet curses me out, calling me a show-off and disgusting capitalist. So I grit my teeth and send out a company-wide announcement. "To support everyone's desire to handle their own childcare, the company has decided to close the free daycare program. Effective immediately, it will be replaced with a childcare benefit. Eligible mothers will receive 200 dollars a month." As soon as the notice goes out, the moms panic. They crowd outside my office, begging me not to shut it down.

After her father's betrayal destroys her family, Jeri Snider abandons her fortune and disappears, only to be saved by struggling entrepreneur Clayton Lynn. She helps him build his empire in secret, but once he rises to power, he turns on her, even cheating with her relative, July. When July exposes Jeri and sets her up to be assaulted, mysterious tycoon Craig Lawson intervenes. But why does he care? Jeri once left him without explanation, and now his sudden return feels… calculated. Is love the real motive? Or is this marriage just another trap? Jeri must outsmart them all—before she loses everything for good.

"I never meant to betray my husband. But when you’re running for your life and trapped between your two forbidden stepsons — one whose body burns like fire, the other whose darkness pulls you under — resistance becomes impossible. On horseback, on a storm-tossed boat, and in a rattling night train with Damien sitting right there… I let them touch me. I let them ruin me. And worse — I started wanting it. Needing it. Now I’m just kilometers away from safety, yet I know I’m already completely lost. Because the woman who arrives at that safe house won’t be Damien’s loyal wife anymore. She’ll be her stepsons’ filthy, willing whore."
