Torn Papers: My Bankrupt Military Husband
“Josie woke up gasping in a ransacked 1970s living room, trapped in the body of a notoriously vain, gold-digging wife. The opulent Sterling family was officially bankrupt and politically dead. The original host's grand plan was to use her unborn child to extort a massive divorce settlement from her terrifying military husband, Donovan. But fragmented memories showed Josie the grim reality of that choice: she was destined to be conned, dying penniless and alone in a freezing gutter. Now, Donovan stood towering before her, his dark eyes filled with absolute disgust. He tossed a thick envelope of divorce papers onto the glass table. "Sign them. You leave the child alone, and you walk away." The ruined family watched with bated breath, fully expecting the spoiled socialite to take their last hidden funds and abandon them to a brutal exile in a Pennsylvania rust-belt factory town. Josie knew the cold truth. A meager settlement couldn't protect a pregnant woman from DC's ruthless political vultures. She refused to let that miserable, lonely death become her reality. Staring directly into Donovan's hostile eyes, Josie picked up the heavy legal documents. With a sharp, deliberate motion, she tore the divorce papers cleanly in half. "I'm not getting an abortion, and I am staying as your wife." She was going to rewrite this destiny, but before they boarded the train to the rust-belt, she had one last score to settle. She would use her formidable husband to terrorize her hypocritical biological family and take back every penny they stole.”
