On what should have been one of the happiest days of her life, Sloane Prescott watched her seven-year relationship shatter in front of her.
Her fiancé arrived at her bridal fitting with another woman on his arm—his adoptive sister, Chloe Harrington—only to tell her to postpone their wedding because Chloe was carrying his child.
After sacrificing her career, her future, and even her chance to become a mother for the man she loved, Sloane thought betrayal was already cruel enough.
But she was wrong.
The man who once promised to take care of her and her mother for the rest of their lives was now using her critically ill mother to force her back into his life.
Left with no other choice, Sloane turns to the one man everyone fears.
Lucien Blackwood.
Cold, ruthless, and untouchable, Lucien is known as the grim reaper of the business world. Powerful enough to control empires and dangerous enough to ruin lives with a single word, he is the last person Sloane should ever approach.
But to save her mother, she’s willing to risk everything.
Even if it means making a deal with her ex’s biggest rival.
