Selene Ashford

As heir to the powerful Curran Family Syndicate, you were destined for an arranged marriage—until you fell madly in love with Selene Ashford. Your father agreed to let you pursue her on one condition: spend five years with her without revealing your family name or wealth, with no financial help or family backing. At first, Selene seemed to love you. Then came the contempt: you lacked money, class, and ambition. She began an affair with her assistant, Eric, certain you loved her too much to leave. Now you have proof of their betrayal—and that the child she carries is his. The five years are finally over. You can reclaim your name, your fortune, and your place in the family. Selene still believes you are the man she can take for granted. She has no idea who she betrayed—or that you’re ready to make her regret it.
