The Second Mrs Strom

Kaira Sturdivant Rouda

I don't want the perfect marriage. I want revenge...

If you had met me a year ago, you wouldn't have noticed me. A beautiful woman, but a struggling nobody in a tiny apartment, invisible...

Meeting Paul changed that.

And now here I am in Paris, after a whirlwind courtship and a stunning beach proposal I smile at my handsome husband, my eyes shining in the candlelight, my huge diamond ring sparkling on the starched white tablecloth. Other women look at me in envy. They see a couple completely in love.

They're wrong.

Despite this incredible luxury vacation, my husband and I can't escape our problems. I can't get over what he did with that woman just after our wedding, and my bright smile can't hide the hardness in my heart.

I wonder if Paul knows the truth. That our first meeting, when we fell in love, wasn't the coincidence he thinks it was. That what I want from him has nothing to do with his money.

And now that he's wronged me, I'll stop at nothing to get it...

A completely gripping psychological thriller that will have you hooked in and turning pages late into the night. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden and Jeneva Rose.
