His Dead Wife: No Longer the Surrogate Bride
Althea Johnson, a quiet but fiercely determined young woman, marries the man every woman fears yet secretly desires—Dominic Valtieri, an intimidating billionaire known for his ice-cold ruthlessness and dangerous connections.
Entering the marriage with sincerity and naïve courage, she hopes that fate might finally plant the seeds of love between them. Instead, her first night as wife becomes a humiliation—Dominic uses her, not loves her.
When she discovers she’s pregnant, she clings to the fragile hope that motherhood might soften him.
But the truth is crueler than any nightmare:
Dom never wanted her—he ONLY needed her womb.
For a legacy.
For a bloodline.
For an heir.
A pawn.
A vessel.
A means to an end.
Shattered, she vows that her child will never grow up as a bargaining chip in a billionaire’s—or mafia family’s—dynasty.
