Marnie Nomura Modern

“Faye Barnes gasps awake in a bathtub full of blood, her wrist slit open. Downstairs, her soon-to-be ex-husband and his family are waiting for her to sign the divorce papers. To them, she's nothing but a worthless country girl who clung to their family name. But they have no idea who now lives inside this body. She is no longer the discarded wife. She is the woman who built Bowen's so-called empire from the shadows-every brilliant strategy, every award-winning proposal, every move that made him a legend. For three years, he took the credit. Now, she's taking it all back. She stops playing the victim. The divorce agreement? That's her declaration of war. On her way out of the gilded cage, she saves a teenage girl in a back alley, taking down three men in seconds. But someone is watching from a black Bentley. Chaz Savage-the dark king of the financial world, a man who controls everything and answers to no one. He doesn't know what to make of her. She's not impressed by his power. She's not afraid of his name. She barely gives him a second glance. A discarded queen who was never meant to be a pawn. A predator who tells himself he's just hunting a puzzle... until the trap closes around him. Bowen's downfall is only the beginning. Faye's true game has just opened. And the one man who thought he could own the board? He's already walking straight into her checkmate.”
