Hidden Gem

"I have sold myself to my boss to pay off a debt. I must be his wife and follow his rules under contract. A secret love since I met him, my husband has a cold and hard heart. Could there be a good heart hidden behind that façade?

Kate Langley didn't shed a single tear the night Grayson Maxwell disappeared after their wedding. And she didn't cry seven years later when he walked back into her life—asking her to handle the divorce… of his mistress. But instead of breaking down, Kate calmly slid another document across the table and fired back, "Sign this. I don't give a damn about your happiness with her." Grayson, however, wasn't the kind of man who took orders lightly. His reply was as cruel as it was unexpected, "I will… but only if you spend one night with me." Kate hated him for that. Hated herself even more for agreeing. What she didn't expect was that after that night… he wouldn't leave. He started showing up everywhere. As if the years hadn't passed. As if nothing between them had ever ended. "We're divorced, damn it! What more do you want from me?" she shouted, cornered between the wall and his arms. Grayson just smiled, brushing his lips against hers. "I want everything that's mine… starting with you, Kate." But when her son fell seriously ill, Kate was forced to turn to the one man she vowed never to trust again. Desperate, she had no choice but to ask for his help—and reveal the secret she had kept hidden all these years. The real reason he should have never come back. Just when she thinks happiness might finally be within reach, everything shattered. Because the truth Kate believed all along… was a lie.
