• WATTYS 2022 WINNER • When Iris Monet married millionaire Jared Darling, she had only one rule - that he could cheat on her with anyone except the household staff. This arrangement of theirs would have gone on quite happily if she hadn't caught him on the snooker table with their maid, and on their wedding anniversary night no less. Humiliated and more than a little drunk, Iris storms out of the house vowing never to return unless it's for a well-compensated divorce. But as the train trundles out of the city, she slowly calms down and quickly realizes that there's a problem. A big problem. Because the only thing Iris has ever done in her life is being a trophy wife. The prospect of unfunded singlehood on the cusp of her thirties is a horrifying nightmare she's unprepared to deal with. So naturally, when she lays eyes on who she thinks is the richest bachelor in Ryefair, Iris is more than ready to put her claws into him. Except, Satoh Akai isn't the richest bachelor in Ryefair - not by a long shot. And as someone who speaks better with animals than people, romance is the furthest thing from his mind. When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, anything is possible but one thing is certain - worlds will collide and hearts will burn. ✒ 17th November 2021 (start) ✒ 27th July 2022 (end)

"Kill me... not her." His voice was low, deadly calm, but his eyes-bloodshot, burning-never left mine. Eyes that should have hated me. Eyes that should have turned away after my betrayal. But no... even now, he chose me. And that was the worst punishment of all. Ten guns pointed at us. Ten traitors... just like me. And in the middle of it-Devraj. My Devraj. Bhai will come. He will save him. He has to. But only if I don't live to ruin him again. So I stepped back. Once. Twice. The edge welcomed me with open arms. "Don't-" his voice cracked, just once. Just enough to shatter me. And I let go. The world blurred. The screams behind me blurred into nothing. My shame, my fear, my hurt drowned with the wind as I fell.

A year has passed. The storms have settled. The enemies are gone. And Emery Hayes finally has the quiet life she once thought she would never live long enough to see.
