The Wife He Paid to Leave

Declan looks straight at Isla over his glass and says nothing.

Declan didn't laugh. He looked at me over the rim of his glass, long and steady.

He didn't correct her. He didn't say one word.

Synopsis

I married Declan Pryce to save my watch shop. He married me to keep his family shares. I told myself the contract was enough. 'It was only a marriage on paper,' he says. Then his first love comes home, and he ends it with papers and a check. I take the papers. I leave the check. He sees my work in his own auction house. He hears Vivienne call me a copy of her. I don't beg. I don't break. Now he wants to know what was real. I need him to prove he can love the woman he paid to leave.
