The Marriage He Burned
(2026)(A book in the Groveling Billionaire's Redemption series)
A novel by Hadley Rush
She never asked for his billionaire empire. She only asked for his presence.
Gwen was proud of the life she built alongside her husband. She managed her family’s historic, privately owned island lighthouse, fully supporting Reid Mitchell as he built a multi-billion-dollar clean-energy empire in Seattle. They were partners, and she believed their foundation was rock solid.
Until Victoria Albright targeted their marriage.
Suddenly, a calculating socialite playing the perfect professional ally inserts herself between them. Victoria subtly weaponizes Reid's executive ambition, engineering a wedge of doubt, missed boundaries, and stolen time that slowly crowds Gwen out of her own husband's life. Watching Reid fall for the flawless act is devastating, but the final match is struck when his blind spot allows Victoria's presence to push their marriage past the breaking point.
Gwen leaves everything behind and disappears to her windswept island haven. Her sudden departure leaves Reid alone to face the realization that his empire means nothing without her. Exposing the fraud who manipulated him is easy, but winning back a guarded heart takes more than apologies. To earn his second chance, this billionaire must shed his tailored suits, return to his rugged firefighter roots, and brave the choking smoke of a fast-moving island brushfire.
He spent years building an empire, but he'll tear it down with his own hands to keep her world safe.
