He Cheated with My Sister and Tried to Kill Me!

He cheated with my sister, forged my signature, and pushed me off a cliff to take my father's empire.

My husband was the famous one. The handsome CEO on the brochure, the face of the resort, the man everyone toasted at the gala. I was just the wife who kept the books — every property, every ledger, every lockbox, four flagship hotels deep.

But the estate was mine. All of it. Sole heir, in my name only, the day my father signed the will.

Then three days after I buried Dad, my husband walked me up a mountain, put his hand flat on my chest, and finished the thing he'd been planning for a year — with my sister, who wore our mother's ring to the funeral. A forged insurance policy. A signature that wasn't mine. A sale agreement for land that was never his to sell.

He thought I was too soft and too stupid to survive the fall.

Big mistake.

A quiet man who builds things found me at the bottom of the ridge — scarred, patient, and very good at reading exactly the kind of paperwork my husband left lying around. So I let the whole town bury me. It's so much easier to work when everyone thinks you're dead.

There's a memorial gala in nine days. My husband is giving the eulogy. I'm bringing the receipts — and the will he never bothered to read. And the man who handed me the hammer and showed me what a real man is supposed to be? He's coming too.

A short, steamy, one-sitting revenge read with a cheating husband, a backstabbing sister, a faked death, a stolen empire taken right back, a jaw-dropping public reveal, a groveling ex who learns too late he did it all for nothing, and a better man who knows exactly what she's worth. Standalone. No cliffhanger. Scorching HEA.
