What? The domineering CEO’s first love is back in the country? And she wants to force me to divorce him? When Luna Aster learned of the “terrible news,” her useless tears of joy practically flowed from the corners of her mouth. “Being single is just too amazing. I’m finally free!” “A sky-high divorce settlement? Bring it on! I could never spend it all!” “Young handsome men? There are just too many of them! How am I supposed to choose?” That was until Elio Leandro pinned the blissfully daydreaming Luna Aster against the wall. “Divorce? Not in this lifetime—or the next!” Elio Leandro thought he had married an ordinary Cinderella. But then… What? My wife is actually a prestigious university’s award-winning female PhD who has collected so many honors she can barely hold them all? What? My wife is actually the founder and president of a pharmaceutical R&D group? What? My wife’s biological father is actually a terrifying gang boss whose very name strikes fear into people’s hearts? This is a love war between two equally matched people. I will not be a climbing trumpet vine clinging to you for support. I am the cotton tree that stands proudly beside you.

Elara Vale was the twin no one knew, sent to replace her glamorous sister in a marriage of convenience. Adrian Wolfe believed he married Alessia, but the quiet, clever woman at his side is nothing like the woman he expected. Before secrets emerge, his first love, Lillian Hart returns, beautiful, ambitious, and desperate to reclaim the man she once loved. As old feelings resurface, Adrian notices subtle differences in his wife, strength, intelligence, and calm determination that don’t match Alessia’s reputation. When the shocking truth comes to light, Adrian discovers the woman who stood by him for three years is not Alessia… but Elara, the twin they sent away. And she harbors a secret no one expected, a truth that could change everything.

"You have 15 minutes to get here, Cassian, or you won't believe my next action." Serena Vale had spent years loving Cassian Blackwood. On the day she was supposed to become his wife, she was still willing to forgive him for disappearing right before their wedding. Then she discovered exactly where he was: in bed with Liora Voss—the daughter of the businessman Cassian desperately needed for his next billion-dollar deal. Cassian promised he would return. He never did. Fifteen minutes later, Serena made the most reckless decision of her life. She called Asher Blackwood. Cassian’s older half-brother. The illegitimate son cast out by the family years ago. The man Cassian had always warned her never to trust. Asher knew Serena was calling out of heartbreak and humiliation. He knew she didn’t love him. Yet when she asked him to marry her, he walked straight into the venue and took her hand. By the time Cassian returned, his bride was already his brother’s wife. What begins as an act of pure revenge becomes complicated when Serena discovers Asher is nothing like the disgraced outcast everyone painted him to be. He has secrets of his own—and the closer Serena gets to her new husband, the more she realizes the Blackwood family's lies run deeper than she ever imagined. She married Asher to make Cassian regret losing her. She never expected to regret the day she ever loved Cassian in the first place.
