Mine

Lena Monroe has spent seven years being the perfect invisible wife to Mark Monroe, Geneva’s most powerful CEO. She survives by writing — bestselling YA under her real name, and filthy dark romance novels under a secret pen name nobody will ever trace back to her. It’s enough. It has to be.

Then Daniel Carter decides to make her his revenge.

Geneva’s most brilliant neurosurgeon has every reason to hate Mark Monroe, and seducing his overlooked wife seemed like the cleanest way to destroy him. Except Lena isn’t what Daniel expected — she burns too bright, hurts too honestly, and her secret novels read like every dark fantasy he’s never admitted to wanting. What started as calculated revenge becomes something neither of them can control or walk away from cleanly.

She chooses her marriage anyway. That should be the end of it.
It isn’t even close to the end.

Mine is book one of The Carter Dynasty Trilogy — a dark romance about obsession, power, and the dangerous space between revenge and desire. Contains explicit content, morally complex characters, and a cliffhanger ending.

Audiobook available on Spotify.
Previously published as Hostile Takeover in the Forbidden Passion series, now fully revised and re-edited.

Description

MINE — The Carter Dynasty Book 1

Lena:

Seven years of being Mark Monroe’s perfect wife taught me one thing — invisibility is its own kind of survival. I write bestselling YA books under my real name and dark, filthy romance novels under a name nobody knows, and that secret has always been enough to keep me sane. Then Daniel Carter walked into my life with revenge in his eyes and his hands on me like I belonged to him, and suddenly surviving wasn’t the same as living. I chose Mark anyway. I went back to my beautiful Geneva life and told myself it was the right decision. I almost believed it.

Daniel:

Mark Monroe spent years trying to destroy my career with equipment he knew was faulty, and seducing his wife was supposed to be the cleanest revenge I’d ever taken. Lena was meant to be a pawn — quiet, overlooked, easy to manipulate. Nobody warned me she was burning alive underneath all that perfect composure, or that her secret dark romance novels would read like a map straight to everything I’d ever wanted to do to a woman. I should have walked away when I still could. I didn’t. Now she’s chosen him and I’m the one left with the damage.

Four people. Two marriages. One obsession that refuses to stay buried.
