The 30-Day Ruin
Seraphina has spent years as the perfect, invisible wife to billionaire Alexander Thorne, only to be discarded the moment his first love, Elena, returns. But Seraphina isn't the fragile socialite Alexander believes him to be. When he hands her the divorce papers, she doesn't beg. Instead, she makes a singular, chilling demand: give her thirty days of "true marriage" before she signs.
Alexander agrees, viewing the contract as a small price for his freedom. He expects a month of desperate clinging; instead, he finds himself ensnared by a woman who is suddenly more captivating, more intelligent, and more elusive than the wife he ignored for years. As the days tick down, Alexander’s indifference turns to obsession, and then to a terrifying realization; he is falling in love with a woman he is about to lose.
On Day 31, Alexander wakes up ready to tear up the divorce papers, only to find the mansion empty. Seraphina has vanished, taking every trace of her existence with her and leaving Alexander’s life and his heart in ruins.
The hunt takes Alexander across the globe, stripping away his arrogance as he discovers the truth: Seraphina is a powerhouse in her own right, with wealth and influence that rival his own. She didn't need his money; she needed her dignity.
As a dangerous past resurfaces and an unexpected pregnancy raises the stakes, the two are forced into a reluctant alliance. Alexander must prove he has changed from a man of possession to a man of protection. To win her back, he will have to sacrifice his empire, confront a shared enemy, and learn that the only contract worth signing is one written in trust, not ink.
