“On the day Amelia Hart was supposed to become Lucas King's wife, he shattered her world in front of hundreds of guests. He arrived late, holding another woman's hand-with a little boy calling him Daddy. After three years of loving Lucas, Amelia was left standing at the altar in her wedding dress, humiliated and heartbroken. By nightfall, her disgrace had become the city's favorite gossip. But just when she thought she had lost everything, a black luxury car stopped beside her in the rain. Inside sat Ethan Blackwood-the one man Lucas King had spent years trying to destroy. Cold, ruthless, and powerful enough to bring an entire empire to its knees, Ethan offered Amelia an unexpected deal. Marry me, and I'll give you everything Lucas took from you. Amelia should have walked away. Ethan was dangerous, his intentions were unclear, and the hatred between him and Lucas ran deeper than she could imagine. But Ethan knew something about her father's death-a secret that could destroy everything Amelia had ever believed. Desperate for answers and determined never to be anyone's victim again, Amelia agreed to become the wife of the man her ex-fiancé hated most. She expected a marriage without love, a husband without mercy, and a battle that would test her strength. What she didn't expect was the way Ethan looked at her when he thought she wasn't watching. Or the unsettling feeling that his plan had begun long before the wedding disaster. Lucas wanted Amelia back the moment she became another man's wife. But this time, she wasn't the woman who had waited three years for him to choose her. She was the woman standing beside his greatest enemy. And Ethan Blackwood had no intention of letting her go. He lost her at the altar. His enemy claimed her as his wife. But neither man knows the secret that could destroy them both.”
