The Ex-Wife He Can Never Have

The Ex-Wife He Can Never Have

For three years, Stephanie Adams gave her husband everything, including her career, her dreams, and the freedom to become the woman he wanted. But Tory Adams never truly loved her. His heart belonged to his widowed sister-in-law, Vanessa Lewis, the woman his family had spent years protecting and cherishing. When Vanessa gave birth to a child conceived using Tory’s frozen sperm, Stephanie finally understood the position she occupied in her husband’s life. She was his wife in name, but Vanessa was the woman he chose. What nobody knew was that Stephanie had a secret of her own. She was pregnant with Tory’s child, a brilliant software developer, and the mysterious hacker known as Tempest, whose identity had remained hidden from the world. Determined to leave her marriage with dignity, Stephanie begins reclaiming everything she sacrificed. Unfortunately, escaping Tory’s influence will prove more difficult than she imagined, especially when the Adams family discovers that the woman they underestimated possesses the power to destroy their carefully protected interests. As old family secrets emerge and a mysterious billionaire enters her life, Stephanie must decide whether she wants revenge against the people who betrayed her or a future completely independent of them. Tory believed Stephanie would never leave him. He is about to discover that the woman he neglected is the one person he cannot afford to lose.
