Billionaire's Ruin: Begging at Her Tombstone

"We're even now."

Sean Winters' words cut deeper than the assassin's blade Eve Carter just took for him. Blood pools beneath her gown as she realizes this sacrifice means nothing—he'll never forgive her for the testimony that sent him to prison six years ago. What Sean doesn't know: Eve was pregnant with his child when she was forced to lie on the witness stand. What he doesn't know: their daughter Grace has been fighting for her life while he built his Wall Street empire on revenge. What he doesn't know: Eve has six months to live.

Once a senator's golden daughter, Eve Carter was coerced into destroying the boy she loved. Sean Reed—now Winters—served three years for a campus assault he didn't commit while Eve scrubbed floors to pay for their daughter's heart surgery. The truth about his father's death and her father's role remains buried in political shadows. Now Sean's back. Ruthless. Powerful. And he's taken everything—including Grace. Eve's plan is simple: survive long enough to secure Grace's future, then disappear forever.

But when she uses her dying breath to recant her testimony, when she chooses the ocean over unbearable pain, the devastating truth finally surfaces. One year later, Sean's world shatters again. Grace keeps asking when Mommy's coming home. His PTSD is spiraling. Then he hears it—that laugh, that voice. Eve Carter is supposed to be dead. So why is she standing in his daughter's room?
