Tom Mccarthy

My mother-in-law, Barbara Morris, insisted that a load-bearing wall was blocking our home's good energy. She even hired someone to tear it down for a panoramic floor-to-ceiling window. The contractor, Peter Stone, kept refusing. "Ma'am, we really can't do this. If we take this wall down, the whole building will collapse." In my past life, I fought desperately to stop them, even getting on my knees and begging them not to touch this wall that held the entire building together. My husband, Tom Williams, thought I was embarrassing him. He slapped me so hard that my left ear went deaf, and he forced them to demolish the wall anyway. That night, the entire building suffered a catastrophic structural failure. I was trapped under the rubble for seven days and nights with ruptured internal organs. Right before I died, I heard Tom shouting at the rescue team. "Save my mom first! That other woman has insurance. If she dies, we'll get the payout and buy a new place!" At that moment, the resentment inside me hardened. When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the moment when the construction crew had just arrived. Looking at that thick load-bearing wall and Tom's hand about to rise up and strike me, I smiled and handed him the eighty-pound sledgehammer nearby. I said, "Mom's absolutely right. Once we knock down this wall, our place will turn into a luxurious river-view apartment. Anyone who tries to stop us is a complete idiot."

Will she rise again as the Country Princess… or fall into a new web of deceit, desire, and deadly secrets?

No dia em que completavam três anos de casamento, coincidentemente o mesmo em que Priscila Silva fazia vinte e sete anos, o marido lhe entregou um presente especial. Um acordo de divórcio. Felipe Almeida, com uma serenidade deslocada para aquele momento, pegou a caneta e assinou o próprio nome no canto inferior esquerdo do documento. Em seguida, deslizou o papel na direção de Priscila. — A Kari é teimosa, difícil de agradar. — Disse ele, em tom neutro. — Ela só aceitaria ficar comigo se eu me divorciasse primeiro. Ele fez uma breve pausa, como se estivesse comentando algo trivial. — Eu já assinei. Agora é a sua vez. Fica tranquila, é só de fachada. O tom de Felipe permanecia calmo e uniforme, sem qualquer oscilação. Soava como alguém decidindo o que comer no jantar daquela noite.

Selene was just eighteen when her life was rewritten. Pregnant, abandoned, and forced into a marriage of convenience, she carried another man’s child down the aisle—without the man she married ever knowing the truth. Years later, her marriage to Tom Harold is a cage of cold words and hollow promises. Doctors insist she’s infertile, his obsession with an heir grows, and the woman who once left him now wants her place back. Then Rowland returns. The only man Selene has ever loved. The father of her child. The one whose touch still ignites a fire she thought she’d buried. Now, every glance, every touch, every word between them becomes a battle of desire and restraint. Tom’s power and possessiveness clash with Rowland’s passion and memory of love, and Selene is trapped in a dangerous game where her heart and her daughter’s future hang in the balance. She must choose: protect the secret that shields her child—or risk everything for a love that never truly let her go. In a marriage built on lies, the most dangerous thing isn’t betrayal. It’s the truth.
