He stalked her. Studied her. Made himself her perfect match.
Now he’ll make sure she never looks back.
Luke Newbury doesn’t believe in love. He believes in calculated risks. After his gold-digging ex-wife tried to bleed him dry, he vowed never to make the same mistake twice. So when sweet, widowed Isabella Rayne catches his eye, he doesn’t pursue her.
He engineers her.
Every shared interest, every whispered comfort, every lingering touch—all meticulously crafted to bind her to him. And unlike his first wife, Isabella doesn’t sign a prenup. Not because she asked, but because Luke wants her dependent, wrapped in the gilded cage of his devotion.
But when his ex-wife starts circling, poisoned with jealousy and hungry for revenge, Luke’s carefully constructed paradise threatens to crumble. Because no one touches what’s his—not his money, not his reputation, and certainly not his wife.
Two generations. One twisted legacy of obsession.
