“Elise's contract marriage to the wealthy, terminally ill Holt Knight was supposed to guarantee her mother's medical care. But the Knight family suddenly froze the $374,000 trust fund, leaving her mother waiting to die. To force her out, her vicious in-laws publicly humiliated her. They made her serve as a waitress at their own charity gala, laughing as they threw money at her feet and called her a gold-digging leech. "You'll always be trash," her sister-in-law sneered. Even worse, Elise was ambushed in a pitch-black hospital elevator by a masked assassin who nearly crushed her throat before vanishing into the night. But during the gala, her sharp medical instincts caught a terrifying detail. The deadly assassin's muscular build and iron grip perfectly matched her frail, wheelchair-bound husband. Why was her "dying" husband secretly a highly trained killer? And why did he suddenly collapse from an untraceable neurotoxin right in front of her, coughing up black blood? Instead of fleeing the viper's nest, Elise pulled two custom meteorite needles from her hair and dragged her dangerous husband back from the brink of death. Then, she pushed his wheelchair straight into the hostile family boardroom. She looked her stunned in-laws in the eye and staked her entire marriage on an impossible corporate bet to seize control of their empire. This time, she was going to tear the Knight family apart from the inside out.”
