From the back cover

For eight years, Selene has been married to Gideon Strathmore under a contract that saved her dying mother. He has been unfaithful throughout, and now he brings home Vesper Quinn, who mocks her openly while Gideon watches with lazy approval. When Selene finally refuses to play the obedient wife, Gideon is startled, but he still treats her as a servant, dismissing her wish to work and ordering her to drive Vesper to campus.

A car crash leaves Selene with a broken leg while Vesper escapes with a scratch. At the hospital, Gideon fusses over Vesper and never looks at Selene, who overhears nurses praise his devotion to his girlfriend. With the contract nearly due, Selene quietly plans a biotech startup with her friend Maren Holt and has a lawyer draft a divorce agreement leaving with nothing.

As Gideon prepares an engagement party for Vesper, Selene packs a single suitcase. In two days, on her thirtieth birthday, she will walk away for good.

The 100th, Vesper Quinn, smirked at me and turned to him, saying, "This is your useless wife, huh?"

Gideon leaned back in his chair and lazily nodded.

Emboldened by his attitude, she strutted over and patted my cheek. "Listen closely to what a real woman sounds like."

That night, moans filled the living room. I couldn't escape them.
