Divorced, Broke… and Bought by Him

Lilian Sterling was once Riverside’s most coveted heiress. But for three years, she was shackled to Augusto Atlas in a loveless marriage, a man she despised. She made his life a living hell, while he endured her every cruelty in silence.
Then her family’s empire crumbled, leaving her with nothing. At her absolute lowest, Augusto emerged as an indomitable power in the city. He served her divorce papers, claiming his true love was back. But Lilian was already tormented by a secret, burgeoning love for him.
To pay her father’s ruinous debts, she agrees to be his secret lover. He treats her with chilling disdain, using their intimacy as a weapon of revenge. Soon, Lilian learns the truth—the incident that started their marriage was a carefully constructed lie. Even his perfect “first love” has her own secrets.
When the layers of deception fall away, she sees this is far more than revenge. Does he truly hate her… or has he loved her all along?
