She married the perfect face, the heir who wore charm like armor. On Guinevere Cochran’s twenty-fifth birthday she woke alone, found a stranger’s scent on her husband’s coat, and caught the first lie that would unravel every certainty she’d trusted. The man everyone called Ethan Cooper ran a family empire at StreamWave and kept his life in neat compartments: the boardroom, the party, the bed he came home to—rarely the heart. When a kiss in a cheap bar, a late-night car, and a handful of receipts thread together, Guinevere discovers she’s not the only woman on his calendar—and worse, his family sees her as a problem to solve, not a wife to protect. This time she won’t fall apart. She will gather proof, forge allies inside the house that betrays her, build the one thing they can’t take back—a life of her own—and make them pay. By the time Harbor City learns the truth about the Cooper legacy, no one will remember who started it—but they will all remember who finished it.
