The Wife He Buried

They buried her three years ago. Today she walks into his office and asks for a job. Serena Hale died on her fifth wedding anniversary, when the yacht Halcyon exploded off the Maine coast. Her husband, billionaire Dominic Hale, was the prime suspect. He was never charged. He was never forgiven, least of all by himself. Serena survived. She spent three years in hiding while a surgeon rebuilt her face, and she came back as Vera Lowell: new hair, new voice, new name, and a secret fund quietly buying up the empire her husband built. She has one goal. Find the people who put a bomb on her bed, and take everything from them. She takes a job as the CEO's temporary chief of staff. She's careful. She counts every step. She never touches him. She doesn't know that Dominic recognised her in the lobby on the very first day. He says nothing. He hands her a coffee made exactly the way she used to take it, and he lets her play. Because whoever tried to kill his wife is still close to them both: a charming brother, a grieving sister, a loyal family lawyer, a godfather who gives the eulogies. And Dominic has been hunting them in the dark for three years. Now two liars share a tower, a studio full of lilies, and a pull that neither of them can survive. Every night is a trap. Every kiss is a lie they both want to believe. But the truth is buried deeper than the yacht. It goes back to an old fraud, a drowned man, and four thousand pensions that vanished twelve years ago. And the man who ordered the bomb is watching her, smiling, and waiting for her to make her first mistake. A wife who came back from the dead. A husband who knew. A killer who loves them both. Some people don't stay buried.
