The Comeback Wife

For seven years, Eleanor Hayes stood beside billionaire Adrian Hayes while he built his empire. She gave him her loyalty, her dreams, and the daughter they both adored. She thought she was his wife. She never realized she was disposable. On their wedding anniversary, Adrian publicly announces that he is leaving her for glamorous socialite Vivian Cross. Humiliated and heartbroken, Eleanor walks away with nothing but her daughter. Then she disappears. For five years, no one knows where Eleanor Hayes went. But while the world assumes she is broken, Eleanor is building something far more powerful than the life she lost. A new identity. A new empire. A new Eleanor. When she finally returns to New York as the mysterious billionaire founder of Haven Black, she becomes the one woman powerful enough to threaten Adrian's empire. Adrian doesn't recognize her at first. Until he hears her voice. And realizes the woman standing before him is the wife he destroyed. Now the man who once couldn't wait to get rid of her is desperate to win her back. But Eleanor doesn't need Adrian anymore. And she certainly doesn't trust him. Because during her five years away, Eleanor discovered something that changes everything: Her marriage wasn't destroyed by an affair. It was destroyed by a secret. A secret buried deep inside the Hayes family. A secret powerful people will kill to protect. As Eleanor begins uncovering the truth, threats appear, alliances collapse, and Vivian's mysterious connection to the past comes to light. Adrian must decide whether to protect the family that made him—or stand beside the woman he once abandoned. And Eleanor must decide whether exposing the truth is worth destroying the man she once loved. Because this time, she isn't coming back as Adrian Hayes's wife. She's coming back as the woman powerful enough to make him regret ever letting her go. He broke her heart. She rebuilt herself. Now he wants her back—but she may be the one thing he can never have again.
