Ravaged by my brother-in-law
Sandra Hale did everything she was supposed to.
She kept his house immaculate, stood faithfully by his side, and wore her wedding ring with pride — all while her husband spent two years betraying her with other women.
Blind, loyal, and utterly devoted, she believed their marriage was genuine.
Until their anniversary, when a single phone call shattered everything.
Instead of tender words, Sandra overhears her husband speaking cruelly about her to another woman, mocking their life together.
The perfect marriage? A lie.
The perfect wife? Finished.
Now, burning with hurt and fury, Sandra craves justice — and the only man who can help her is the last person she ought to trust.
Ryan Hale.
Her husband’s dangerous, icy brother. A man who gathers secrets as if they were weapons and holds every hidden truth Liam wants buried.
Ryan makes her an offer: all the leverage and proof she needs to take down her husband… in exchange for one night spent with him.
She tells herself it is merely an agreement.
She tells herself she holds the power.
She tells herself she will never grow attached to a man who has never let anyone close.
She is wrong on every count.
What begins as a calculated bargain blooms into consuming fixation. The pursuit of justice turns into a forbidden connection. But as threats draw near and Ryan’s own buried traumas come to light, Sandra realizes the man she is falling for may be her riskiest choice yet.
In this game of betrayal and longing, the only thing more dangerous than revenge… is love.
