Her Stepbrother’s Desire, Her husband’s Obsession
“You say the child belongs to your stepbrother.”
Aston’s gaze flicked to the sleeping boy, then back to her.
“Is that what everyone believes?”
Aria’s jaw tightened.
“Why do you ask?”
His lips curved into a slow, dangerous smile.
“Curiosity.”
Five years ago, Aria Griffin was drugged by her own family and forced into her stepbrother’s bed.
By morning, the scandal had destroyed her reputation… and everyone believed it was her fault.
She was disgraced and disowned, and had to be flown away to hide from the public.
For five years, Aria lived quietly overseas under her grandfather’s protection… until the day he summoned her back.
This time, she isn’t returning alone.
She has a son.
And a marriage waiting for her.
Everyone believed the child she carried was proof of her shame.
Her husband, Aston Beaumont, is powerful, calculating, and far too interested in a woman the entire city believes was ruined by her own stepbrother.
But Aria quickly discovers the truth.
Aston didn’t marry her out of duty.
He married her for revenge.
While her husband secretly plots to destroy her grandfather, Aria must protect the one thing she cannot afford to lose, her child.
And as old scandals resurface, the stepbrother who once destroyed her reputation has no intention of letting her go again.
But the biggest secret of all…
The child isn’t who anyone thinks he is.
And everyone who underestimated Aria is about to regret it.
