The Poisoned Vow: Tempting My Ex's Dying Billionaire Uncle

From the back cover

They stole her research, her inheritance, and her fiancé. Then they sent her to prison for a crime they committed.

After three years in federal prison and two years of clandestine toxicology training across Europe, Reyna Caldwell returns to New York with no fortune and no powerful family backing her-only deadly expertise, a handful of experimental compounds, and one loyal assistant.

Waiting for her is a live broadcast of her stepsister, Sloane, wearing Reyna's engagement ring, clinging to Reyna's former fiancé, and taking public credit for the clinical research that once belonged to her.

But Reyna's father has one final trap prepared.

Marry Conrad Vaughn-her ex-fiancé's disfigured, paralyzed uncle-or lose the disputed shares her late mother left behind. Once the Caldwell-Vaughn merger closes in thirty days, the original trial records that could prove Reyna's innocence will be sealed away forever.

Conrad is no ordinary invalid. He is the former chairman of Vaughn Global, the true controller of the Vaughn family trust, and the only man with enough voting power to stop the merger and force an independent investigation.

The two families expect their unwanted heirs to disappear quietly together.

Instead, they have just placed Reyna's most powerful weapon within her reach.

At the Vaughn estate, the servants call her a desperate ex-convict and leave Conrad rotting behind locked doors. His body is covered in infected wounds. His medical staff are drugging him into a coma. And the slow-acting neurotoxin destroying his nerves carries the same chemical backbone as the falsified compound that sent Reyna to prison.

The people who ruined her life are also trying to murder her new husband.

Now Reyna will tear apart Sloane's perfect engagement, expose the family that stole her mother's legacy, and drag Conrad back from the edge of death.

"I don't need him to survive. But I need him alive to win this war."

As Reyna reaches for Conrad's pulse, his hand suddenly locks around her wrist. The supposedly unconscious man opens a pair of lethal blue eyes.

"Which one of them sent you to finish the job?"

She must cure a husband who trusts no one. He must decide whether his new wife is his salvation-or the most dangerous enemy ever sent into his bedroom.

If Reyna succeeds, she will reclaim everything they stole.

And once Conrad rises from his wheelchair, he has no intention of ever letting the woman who brought him back to life leave his side.
