Ashes Of His Regret
She was the wife he discarded like yesterday's deal, she's brilliant, devoted, broken by his cold abandonment during her darkest hour. The miscarriage that stole their child. The sabotage that crushed her family. The "upgrade" heiress his mother handpicked to replace her.
Esmeralda Voss swore she'd never beg again.
A chance one-night stand with his ruthless rival, Damian Hale, ignites an unlikely alliance: pretend to be his wife to soothe his dying mother's final wish, and in return, he'll arm her with everything needed to dismantle the man who ruined her.
But revenge is a dangerous game when desire burns hotter than hate. As Esmeralda lures her ex back with teasing touches and whispered memories, making him ache with regret and hope... Damian's possessive jealousy awakens something deeper. What started as a calculated deal spirals into raw, consuming passion, nights of dominance and surrender that heal her scars and shatter his control.
He was supposed to be a tool. She was supposed to walk away alone.
In a world of billion-dollar betrayals and bedroom power plays, Esmeralda will burn his empire to the ground... but can she resist the man who makes her feel truly chosen?
A sizzling dark billionaire romance of revenge, fake marriage, and forbidden love that refuses to stay pretend.
