The Husband I Became

Summary

When Damian Cole forced me to sign the bankruptcy papers that would liquidate my family’s company, my heart gave out.

The crushing pain in my chest arrived like a fist closing around glass. I collapsed against the hardwood floor of his penthouse study, gasping, my fingers clawing toward the prescription bottle of nitroglycerin that had rolled from my purse.

Damian didn’t even look down. He stood there with his arm wrapped around Sadie Ward, his long-time obsession, who was dabbing at a barely visible scratch on her wrist with a silk handkerchief.
