She outbid him for his wife's $30M necklace—When he investigated, the black woman was his—

Описание: She outbid a BILLIONAIRE for his ex-wife's $30 million necklace. When he investigated who she was, he discovered the truth that changed everything...

Barbara Williams walked into that Charleston auction house with one mission: acquire the sapphire necklace for her client. She had no idea the devastatingly handsome man she outbid was David Pagan—tech billionaire, the necklace's original owner, and a man still healing from betrayal.

What David didn't know? Barbara was working for HIS MOTHER.

The necklace was his grandmother's. A family heirloom he'd foolishly given to his ex-wife five years ago. Now, at 37, David would pay anything to get it back. But the mysterious Black woman who won the bidding war at $30 million wasn't who he expected.

When he confronted her at her art gallery, he found a woman unlike anyone he'd known. Brilliant. Grieving her own losses. Carrying invisible weight while running her business and caring for her mother with Alzheimer's.

But his ex-wife wasn't finished destroying him.

Victoria wanted revenge. When she discovered David was falling for Barbara—the woman who "stole" her necklace—she launched a $50 million lawsuit designed to destroy them both.

Could a month-old love survive a bitter ex-wife's vendetta? Would David sacrifice his family's legacy to protect the woman who'd stolen his heart? And what happens when the woman who refuses help finally lets someone in?
