The Wife He Underestimated
In the dangerous underground world of crime, loyalty is often rewarded with betrayal.
Maria has spent years standing faithfully beside her husband, Sebastian Delacruz, the most feared drug kingpin in New York City. Despite his infidelity, dangerous lifestyle, and lack of respect for her opinions, Maria remains devoted to him because of a promise he made long ago: he would always protect her and the people she loves.
When Maria’s best friend, Lena, is brutally murdered during one of Sebastian’s business dealings after he ignores Maria’s warning about a suspicious new partner, Maria’s faith in her husband begins to crumble.
As she struggles with grief, Sebastian humiliates her further by bringing another woman into their home and publicly declaring her the new mistress of the house.
With nothing left to hold onto, Maria walks away from her marriage with nothing but her dignity.
What she does not know is that her life is about to change forever.
A deceased billionaire has named Maria as his long-lost daughter and sole heir. Overnight, the woman Sebastian believed was helpless without him becomes the richest woman in the United States.
Now Maria must prove herself worthy of the inheritance, survive the enemies who want to steal it from her, and build a life entirely on her own.
