Ruthless

To her family, Alexander Chen is nothing more than a polite, struggling marketing coordinator — lucky their daughter hasn’t left him yet. To his wife, Victoria, he’s a convenient placeholder while she laughs a little too loudly at another man’s jokes and slips away for “late meetings.” But Alex has secrets. Behind the patient smile lies a mind sharper than steel and a fortune far greater than anyone suspects. For three years, he’s played the role of the obedient husband, enduring the humiliation, the betrayals, the lies. Now, the mask is coming off. As Victoria falls deeper into David Morrison’s orbit, Alex prepares to show them both what choices cost. Love may have made him weak. Betrayal is about to make him unstoppable. Marriage was her game. War will be his.

With every law enforcement agency hunting him, Ethan’s only chance is to find Dr. Evelyn Carter, the neuroscientist who unknowingly helped build the program.
