When her meticulously crafted marriage to Elijah Rossi shatters on her wedding night with a brutal revelation: "There is no us, Imogen. There never was." 
Imogen is abandoned by her husband and further faces an even crueler twist when her husband refuses a divorce.

With the arrival of Isaac Rossi, Elijah's revenge-driven half brother, Imogen strikes a clandestine deal with her brother-in-law to navigate a dangerous game of deceit, seeking to outmaneuver her indifferent husband. As loyalties are tested, Imogen must decide which brother is right for her. The one she was made for or the one she burns for.

The morning sun glared through my windshield as I drove, squinting against its brightness. My head was pounding, a reminder of another sleepless night spent thinking about her. Imogen. My stepbrother's wife. The woman I couldn't get out of my head.

It must've started that day I dared her to kiss me. I thought she'd laugh it off, maybe call me an idiot. But she didn't. She actually did it. And damn, what a kiss it was.
