Seven years of being Mark Monroe's perfect wife have taught Lena how to disappear inside a life everyone else admires.
She has a beautiful home in Geneva, a powerful husband, a daughter she loves, and a successful career writing bestselling young adult novels. No one knows about the dark, explicit romances she publishes under another name, or that those books contain every desire she has learned to keep to herself.
Then Daniel Carter discovers them.
Daniel has spent years waiting to make Mark Monroe pay for the faulty medical equipment that nearly destroyed his surgical career. Seducing Mark's neglected wife should be simple. Lena is supposed to be a weakness he can exploit, one final humiliation delivered to the man he hates.
But Lena is nothing like the quiet, obedient wife Daniel expected.
Behind her perfect composure is a woman starving to be seen, and inside her secret novels is a map to everything she has never dared to ask for. What begins as revenge becomes an obsession Daniel can no longer control.
Lena knows choosing him could destroy her marriage, her family, and the carefully protected life she has built.
So she chooses Mark. She goes home, returns to the life that made her invisible, and tells herself it was the right decision.
Daniel has no intention of letting her believe that lie forever.
Mine is the first book in The Carter Dynasty, an explicit psychological romance series about revenge, betrayal, marriage, obsession, and the dangerous choices that bind Lena, Daniel, Mark, and Vanessa together.
For mature readers only.
