Adeline Donovan thought she had the perfect marriage and the perfect husband until the night she walked in on her husband, Theodore, tangled in the arms of his secretary. Humiliated, she takes her young son and returns to her grandfather’s estate. But running from her marriage doesn’t mean she can run from responsibilities. For years, Theodore had been managing her shares in her grandfather’s powerful business empire. Now, with the truth out, Adeline steps forward to claim what is rightfully hers. She demanded to be divorced but her grandfather gave her a challenge instead; to make a proposal to Darien Hawthorne—a rival tycoon with a reputation as cold as the empire he built. Darien is dangerous, a rumored international playboy, and everything Adeline should avoid. How hard could it be? Unfortunately for her, she breaks a bottle of wine on Darien’s head on the first day they meet while in a drunken state. What seems to be a simple, yet nerve-racking business arrangement forms into a dangerous turn of events when family members turn greedy, enemies close in, and Adeline has to fight her feelings for Darien. As her world unravels, only one question remains; will she choose to stand by Darien, or walk away from the man who has become both her greatest rival and her most undeniable desire? And Darien, would he be able to fight his desire for the woman he’s loved since his teenage years especially when he has to make a choice, Adeline or his family?
