The Wife He Declined

On the night Nora Palmer goes into labor with twins, she calls her husband nine times. Adrian Blackwell, the youngest billionaire in the Pacific Northwest, declines every call, choosing instead to slow-dance with his dying childhood sweetheart, Lily Chen. Nora delivers the babies alone. By morning, her mother-in-law offers her $500,000 to disappear, and the family denies her children exist. But the Blackwells have no idea who they just discarded. Nora is not a nobody. She is Nora Castellano, heiress to the pharmaceutical empire that supplies seventy percent of Blackwell Medical Group's drugs. Her father, Victor Castellano, does not forgive what his daughter endured. With a forged medical record, a staged cancer, and a family blind to the truth, Nora will pull every contract, expose every lie, and watch the empire that turned its back on her come crawling back.
