Where Monsters Wear Crowns

Roger Knight rules his empire through fear, leverage and absolute control. When ruthless nursery owner Janice Graeves is forced into a secret marriage and stripped of the business she built, Roger believes he has finally conquered the only woman capable of challenging him.
He is wrong.

Behind closed doors, their marriage becomes a vicious psychological war. Janice searches for weaknesses in the man who owns her company, her name and her future, while Roger grows increasingly desperate to protect the truth buried beneath his carefully constructed image. When a mysterious stranger awakens everything Roger has spent decades denying, his control begins to fracture. Amelia Roberts soon discovers evidence powerful enough to destroy him.

As blackmail changes hands, loyalties shift and the merged Knight Nursery becomes the centre of a new corporate battlefield, Janice must decide whether to escape the monster's cage or reshape it into a throne of her own.

In this empire, power is never given. It is stolen, weaponised and worn like a crown.
