The Chairman's Quiet Wife

Seven years as the quiet wife. It took one obituary to end it. Alice Fenwick runs an Oxfordshire house, four charities, and a marriage that operates on a schedule — two calls a week, Zurich time. Charles is a private banker, and he has never been unkind. He has simply been elsewhere. At his mother's funeral, she reads the obituary. The family is listed as Charles Fenwick and son. She and Charles have no son. She doesn't pack. She opens the accounts — the ones she's been a signatory on for years without looking — and starts reading. When Charles flies in expecting a negotiation, his wife already knows every page. And she doesn't want his money. She wants the house, the charities in her own name, and one hour of his time every evening for a year. The quiet wife was never the problem. She was just reading. A billionaire marriage-in-crisis second-chance romance for readers of elegant, slow-burn reconciliation.
