Scarlett's Shadow: A Broken Man's Redemption

From the back cover

The wedding ring was still cold on my finger when Scarlett, my brand new wife, tossed her phone on the bed.

Our Hawaii honeymoon?

Canceled.

A "business opportunity" came up, she said, already pulling out a sleek black dress.

Just a few hours after saying "I do," my world was already shrinking to fit hers.

Then came the real unraveling.

Left behind in a chaotic foreign riot by the very woman I married and her trusted assistant, I survived hell.

I was beaten, starved, and left for dead.

When I finally crawled back home, battered and scarred, Scarlett didn't offer comfort – she threw stale pretzels at me and watched with disgust as I ate them off the floor like an animal.

Later, she even shoved me down a flight of stairs, leaving me with a ruptured spleen.

My life, my love, my very existence was just an inconvenient asset to her.

How could the woman I' d loved my entire life treat me like garbage, or worse, a public relations problem?

Why was I always the one left broken while she walked away clean?

But when her assistant, Dylan, showed up to gloat about orchestrating my near-death experience, confessing every twisted detail of his plan to get rid of me right in front of Scarlett, everything changed.

He thought he had manipulated them both, but he made one fatal mistake.

Scarlett had finally learned, the hard way, who the real villain was.

And now, it was her turn to decide who she was.
