A neglected wife finally leaves the husband who took her devotion for granted.
Leila Sinclair spent three years as Landon Kensington's wife after he forbade her from loving him, a command she could not obey. She absorbed his consistent coldness and his family's hostility while another woman occupied the center of his emotional life. Landon treated her loyalty as limitless, convinced his neglect could never drive her away. That certainty collapses when she places divorce papers before him, forcing the powerful businessman to confront the consequences of taking her devotion for granted.
