Amor Forçado

The night Selene Carter slid divorce papers across the table, she thought she was freeing herself from a useless husband.

Damon Locke, a ruthless playboy, stalks Selene’s every move. And Vivienne Hale, the fiery heiress who has loved Adrian in shadows, steps boldly into the light, determined to claim him at last. As Selene begins to question everything she thought she knew about the man she abandoned, she uncovers the most devastating truth of all: Adrian’s greatest secret has yet to be revealed. And the most dangerous enemy isn’t the one waiting in the shadows, but the one sitting right beside her.
