For three years, Elena Ashford has been the perfect wife to billionaire Alexander Kane—a marriage of convenience that saved his empire while his heart belonged to someone else. When she finally tricks him into signing annulment papers hidden among his nightly business documents, two things happen simultaneously: she discovers she's pregnant, and his first love returns from the dead. But Elena's carefully planned escape becomes a nightmare when the press discovers the filing, Alexander's father summons her to an emergency board meeting, and she realizes the inheritance clause she thought would secure her freedom might actually destroy her. Caught between a ruthless family patriarch who will do anything to protect his legacy and a husband who may have been lying about more than just his feelings, Elena must decide how much she's willing to sacrifice for a future she can finally call her own. Some marriages end with a signature—others end with war.
