The Marriage He Starved
(2026)(A book in the Groveling Billionaire's Redemption series)
A novel by Hadley Rush
She never asked for his shipping empire.
She only asked to be his priority.
Brilliant naval engineer Tess Mercer anchored her life to a billionaire who treated her indestructible strength as a license to neglect her. While Graham gave his time, protection, and presence to his demanding family and his late brother's fragile widow, Tess was left to survive on crumbs. She endured the emotional starvation in silence, convincing herself his distance was just grief.
Until he commits the ultimate betrayal, proving once and for all that his loyalty belongs to his family's ghosts instead of his wife.
Realizing she can no longer compete with a phantom, Tess does the one thing her husband never predicted: she leaves her platinum wedding band on his mahogany desk and vanishes onto the massive commercial freighter she designed.
Now, the untouchable CEO realizes he just lost his entire world. But winning back his fierce, independent wife won't happen with corporate apologies or an unlimited black card. To prove his devotion, Graham must strip away his wealth and privilege, boarding her ship in the middle of the Pacific Ocean as an anonymous, entry-level deckhand.
Earning her forgiveness will take bleeding hands, brutal labor, and the epic grovel of a lifetime.
