Back in His Arms, Back in His Game... a Billionaire's Price
She walked away from her cold, loveless marriage... only to discover she carried the one thing they would stop at nothing to claim.
Alina Hart never imagined her life would become bound to the Vaughn dynasty, Atheria’s most powerful family, where legacy mattered more than love. To the Vaughn's, she was simply the bride chosen for Sebastian, a match arranged for convenience. And to Sebastian Vaughn himself, she was a responsibility he accepted out of duty, not desire.
Until one night changed everything. The only night he ever dropped his guard, and the only night she believed they had a future. By morning, he called it a mistake. By evening, a betrayal had a name: Natasha Fairfax, the socialite his mother loved, ready to take the place Alina never really had.
Alina left, vanishing into the town of Marlowe. She soon learned she hadn't just left a husband; she was pregnant with the heir the Vaughn's would one day come for.
Six years later, she returns. She is no longer the discarded wife, but a strong woman with her own power, her own name... and a secret that could destroy their empire.
The Vaughn's want their legacy.
Sebastian wants the truth.
Natasha still wants her place.
Alina wants only one thing: to protect what is hers.
Their dynasty demanded an heir... she became their reckoning.
