The Wife He Kept Off the Record

I married Theo Blackwood in a courthouse on a Thursday, with his lawyer as a witness and a contract I'd corrected in red pen. One year. Separate rooms. And no one could ever know.

For a year I fixed his grandmother's clock, taught his shipyard crew to read a barometer, and slept in his bed. And for a year he stood beside his ex-fiancée at every party on the bay while I stayed home.

Then, at the gala where he signed the deal of his life, I heard him tell a room full of investors: "There's no wife. There's a filing. It ends in July."

I was fourteen weeks pregnant. He didn't know.

He also didn't know my real name is Iris Vale, or that the private fund deciding whether his company survives answers to my grandmother.

Now the man who kept me off the record needs that fund's money. He's about to find out whose house he's walking into.

The Wife He Kept Off the Record is a steamy standalone billionaire marriage-in-crisis romance with a contract marriage, a secret heiress, a secret pregnancy, an ex who gets exactly what she deserves, a long and very public grovel, and a guaranteed HEA. No cheating. Book 2 of The Quiet Heiresses.
