Story

The story

After her husband Nathan Smart dies in a fire while trying to save her, Claire is left with a newborn son, Alex, and a mountain of debt. She works relentlessly to pay it off, while her cousin Amelia Williams constantly inserts herself into their lives, helping raise Alex as if he were her own.

What Claire knows, and hides, is that Nathan never died. She once saw him with Amelia, and she has quietly kept the truth to herself, raising Alex and building the company while pretending to believe the lie. Amelia spreads rumors that Claire is drowning in debt and hopelessly devoted to a dead man, keeping other suitors away.

As Alex grows colder toward her and closer to Amelia, Claire waits, certain that a reckoning is coming.

Opening excerpt

I worked hard to pay off the debt while raising the child, only to unintentionally discover that my husband hadn’t died at all. Instead, he was sleeping with my cousin.

“Honey, you’re so clever. You transferred all the company funds and faked your death, leaving that stupid wife of yours to shoulder all the debt.

“She’s so clueless that she doesn’t even realize the son she’s raising isn’t hers, that I swapped him out. Once she’s done paying off the debts, the three of us can live a great life together.”

These are the opening lines of chapter 1. Keep reading →
