    It is past eight in the morning, I have a company to run today, and my body is running on zero percent fuel. But as I step through the swinging doors into the kitchen, I stop dead in my tracks. There is no scent of bacon, no freshly brewed coffee, and zero activity. Instead, three of the housemaids

    The look on his face. That smug, infuriating, triumphant look Owen wore when he clicked the folder shut. My lawyer—that pompous, overpaid little weasel—had warned me. He had told me that Owen doesn't have the will because he has it, and it was a ploy to get me to confess. And what did I do? I di

    She’s wearing a silk robe, a laptop is balanced on her knees loudly streaming a reality television show, and scattered all over my crisp white duvet are open bags of greasy potato chips, chocolate wrappers, and half-eaten cookies. I have a lot of boundaries, but my number-one, non-negotiable mental
