The Ex-Wife’s Triumphant Return

Cressida Ashworth gives up everything for love, even her life, yet her husband, Luther Strudwick, repays her devotion with one word. "Disgusting." When she opens her eyes again, she's given three more months to live. A mysterious voice says, "Should Luther speak the words 'I love you,' you shall live again." But this time, Cressida would sooner lose that chance than stoop to begging. She returns under a stack of aliases, stripping the saintly mask off Natasha Ashworth and making every last snob eat their words. And Luther, the one who once mocked her, falls into desperation when he finally sees her brilliance. He begs for her forgiveness, but she no longer cares. "Cressida, I—" "Too late." She cuts him off with a smile and steps right into Tristan Leigh's arms. The aloof doctor who has always stood guard behind her is revealed to be the heir to a vast corporate empire. He's had his sights on her for a long time. "Cressida, I'll help you claim whatever you want. Now tell me, when are we getting married?"
