“Three years in prison. A ruined face. A fiancé and a cousin who stole everything she had. Chloe Sinclair woke up in a hotel room wearing nothing but a strange man's shirt. A dead man lay beside her. Before she could explain, reporters stormed in. Her fiancé, Brandan, accused her of cheating and murder in front of every camera. Her cousin, Jessica, crushed Chloe's fingers beneath her heel and whispered: "Your designs, your name, and Brandan-everything you had is mine now." By the end of the day, Chloe had lost her engagement, her reputation, and her future. By the end of the trial, she was a convicted killer. They thought three years in prison would destroy her. Instead, it gave her time to remember every face, every lie, and every debt. After a suspicious prison fire left her disfigured, a mysterious benefactor paid for her facial reconstruction and gave her a new identity. Three years later, Chloe Martin walked free with only two things left from her old life: a canary diamond cufflink from the crime scene-and a promise that everyone who ruined Chloe Sinclair would pay. Then the powerful Mitchell family offered her a deal. Marry Cullen Mitchell, their comatose heir, and they would give her the money, protection, and influence she needed to reclaim Sinclair Group. Chloe signed without hesitation. But on her wedding night, the man who walked into her room was not her unconscious husband. It was Barrett Mitchell-the ruthless billionaire who controlled the Mitchell empire and despised every woman who tried to get close to him. Every woman except Chloe. Soon, she discovered that the marriage contract was hiding an even darker secret. Legally, she might never have married Cullen at all. She might already be Barrett Mitchell's wife. Now Chloe must seduce the man who hates her, expose the conspiracy that sent her to prison, and take back everything Brandan and Jessica stole. But the closer Barrett gets to her, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Because the cufflink she carried out of that hotel room may belong to someone inside the Mitchell family.”
