Carter Lonerelli is a man who built his empire with cold precision, ruthless ambition and an ironclad heart. At thirty-one, the powerful businessman has everything-wealth, influence and a reputation that keeps everyone at arm's length. Love is a distraction he has no time for. Family is a weakness he buried long ago. But when a contract forces him into the life of Rose Morin, his world begins to unravel in ways he never expected.
Rose, a twenty-five-year-old college student and devoted mother, has fought tooth and nail for the future she and her son deserve. She's stubborn, resilient and determined to never need a man for anything. Especially not one like Carter, cold, controlling and dangerously irresistible.
When their worlds collide, desire ignites, secrets surface and the lines between obligation and passion blur. Carter never intended to care and Rose never intended to fall. But some things are inevitable.
In a game of power, love and redemption will Carter risk everything to keep Rose or will his past destroy the one thing he never saw coming-his own heart?

The Revenge Wife
COMPLETE Let me make this crystal clear, because you don't seem to understand," he said, his voice deceptively calm, but laced with venom. "I paid for you to be my wife. That means you do what I say. You're mine now." He flicked a check toward me, and it fluttered to the ground between us. I couldn't look away from him, though my chest tightened in panic. My hands shook as I fought back tears, refusing to let him see me break. But he wasn't finished. "What did you expect?" he scoffed, eyes narrowing. "This is what gold diggers like you get. Money has a price, and now you're paying yours. Enjoy it, wife." Without another word, he turned and walked away, leaving me standing in the massive, empty living room-speechless, breathless, and drowning in disbelief. I never expected this. © MaryRose 2018.
