She believed she was his wife.
At midnight, she discovered she had only been the price of his inheritance.
For one year, Lydia Russo believed her marriage to billionaire Sebastian Russo was built on love. He was reserved, demanding, and often consumed by work but in private, he made her feel chosen. Then, on their first anniversary, Lydia overhears the truth.
Sebastian needed to remain married for twelve months to inherit control of his family’s company. The quiet woman who adored him had been selected because she was suitable, convenient, and unlikely to cause trouble. Even worse, she hears him describe their wedding night as uncomfortable and declare that children were never part of his plan.
Heartbroken and humiliated, Lydia leaves her wedding ring on his pillow and disappears into the night. Sebastian knows their marriage began with a lie. What he failed to understand was that somewhere between the arrangement and midnight, Lydia became the only real thing in his life. Now she is rebuilding in a small town where his money means nothing and she wants nothing from him except the freedom to leave.
Winning her back will require more than an apology. Sebastian must expose the secrets behind their marriage, stand against the brother determined to take his company, and face the former girlfriend who still believes Lydia was only temporary but his greatest challenge will be learning that love is not about choosing someone. It is about becoming worthy of being chosen in return.
Emotional, angsty, and deeply romantic, His Wife Until Midnight is a billionaire marriage-in-crisis romance about a wife who walks away, a powerful husband brought to his knees, and a second chance that must be earned.
Genre: General Fiction
