Cheated on and humiliated by her husband, Cara walked away with nothing but a broken heart. She never imagined the man she had loved for years would betray her so cruelly. On a rain-slick road, seconds away from death, she met him—Nicklaus. Desperate, she clung to him, begging for work. Instead, he offered her a job… to become his contract wife. After the divorce, her ex-husband called her a psychopath who loved too easily. But Nicklaus showed her what it meant to be cherished. Protected. Desired. For the first time, she wasn’t fighting to survive. She was treated like a queen. And she fell—for the man who made her feel more than she ever dreamed possible. Until she discovered the truth. Nicklaus Salvatore. Uncle to her ex-husband. The very man Jayden worshipped and feared. She had been announced to the world as his wife. Was she supposed to run now? After being treated like a princess? After finally feeling loved? Or would she stay—damning the consequences, even with the constant threats from her ex-husband? Was Nicklaus truly her savior… Or just another explosion waiting to destroy her?
