Married To His Cruelty, Not His Love

From the back cover

I married a billionaire to escape my Appalachian roots, fully aware I was just a pawn in his toxic game with Kiarra, the woman he was truly obsessed with.

I thought I knew the rules, until he let her bulldoze my childhood home for a new resort, leaving my deaf-mute mother injured in the dust.

He stood by as her friends beat me senseless. He broke my arm.

When I finally fought back after Kiarra threatened my mother, he broke it again, his face a mask of cold fury.

His final act of cruelty was forcing me to my knees in a crowded bar, ordering me to bark like a dog for their friends' amusement.

As I knelt there, humiliated and broken, I looked to my husband for a shred of mercy. He just turned away and kissed Kiarra passionately, sealing my fate with her lipstick.

They thought they had destroyed the "mountain mouse." But as I boarded a private jet with a divorce settlement that could cripple his empire, I knew my story wasn't over. It was just beginning.
