But on the night of their third anniversary, the man she loved didn't bring flowers. He brought a divorce decree and a cold ultimatum.He was marrying Isabella-the socialite who supposedly "saved" him years ago. To Julian, Maya was just a business arrangement that had reached its expiration date.But Julian didn't just want her gone; he wanted her crushed. Within twenty-four hours, Maya is blacklisted, homeless, and hunted by the very man she once called her world.Until Cyrus Thorne walks out of the shadows.Dangerous, reclusive, and Julian's most feared rival, Cyrus offers Maya a deal that sounds like a devil's bargain: "I'll provide the throne; you provide the fire.

In her place stands a ruthless queen of the tech world, draped in diamonds and standing at the side of a man far more powerful than Julian Vane.

He's ready to beg for a second chance. But as Cyrus pulls Maya into his arms and claims her in front of the world, she only has five words for her ex-husband:"It's too late for your regret."”
