Left With Nothing But My Son

On her third wedding anniversary, Vivienne comes home to find her husband Donovan Ashford in bed with another woman — the tenth time. She says nothing, only closes the door. A month later he throws divorce papers at her, sneering that she has done nothing for the Ashford family but produce a son. She agrees to sign, asking only for their son Noah and refusing a cent of the family fortune. Everyone calls her insane to walk away from the Ashford wealth, and Donovan mocks her: as a fertility specialist, how will she support the boy?

What none of them know is that Donovan is severely infertile, and that Vivienne alone could ever bear his child. The Ashfords' century-old empire will have only one heir: her son. So she endures the humiliations, the mistresses, the cruelty, waiting in silence.

When Donovan's newest mistress, Sophie, is seated beside him at his parents' anniversary party and demands an apology from Vivienne, the divorce papers finally land on the table. Vivienne refuses to surrender Noah, and the war begins.
