The Neglected Wife

Six years of marriage, and Ava Sinclair has learned to be a ghost in her own penthouse. Grant's deals come first, his assistants send her birthday flowers, and the tabloids have stopped pretending the other women aren't there. So on their anniversary, Ava does the one thing Grant never planned for: she leaves. Grant Sinclair has never lost a negotiation. He has also never met a competitor like Ava's silence. He follows her to Marrow Bay, where she's using her own savings to reopen a bakery, and discovers that no acquisition strategy works on a woman who has already decided she's worth more than his money. But when a hostile board vote threatens them both, they have to choose: stay apart and stay safe, or risk a second chance that has to be built, not bought.
