I Saved His Life, He Left Mine

From the back cover

When a construction scaffold collapsed, Pegula pushed Andrews clear and took a steel bar to the abdomen. She woke in intensive care, and for half a year he never left her bedside. Everyone called their love stronger than steel. On the day she is finally cleared for discharge, Andrews tells her he stayed only out of pity, and that Ramon has been waiting for him all along — a woman he has already proposed to, and who comforted him in this very hospital room while Pegula lay unconscious.

Seven years ago Pegula set aside a promising career as a perfumer to become Andrews' assistant, and he reminds her of it now, telling her no one else will have her. He moves Ramon into the home they shared and sends Pegula to a small studio apartment across town, then asks her to introduce Ramon to the senior figures at an industry conference. Pegula agrees — because a wild plan is already forming in her mind.
