Riley Harper thought she had spent five years building a life with her husband, Lucas Ashford—until she discovers their marriage was never legally registered. Worse, Lucas has been secretly living a second life with Sophia, the woman he truly loves, and their young son. Humiliated, drugged with contraceptives for years, and treated as a disposable servant by the Ashford family, Riley refuses to break.
Instead, she plays the perfect wife for one final month while quietly planning her escape—and her revenge. As Lucas’s lies begin to unravel, Riley reconnects with her powerful birth family and enters an arranged engagement with the cold, influential Sebastian Torres. But what begins as a strategic alliance may become the one real thing in her life.
