Becoming A King

Mara King has spent six years pretending she is immune to her husband's conniving ways, but when Garrett uses her body as a token in a business deal, she can no longer deny she is just a pawn in his games. Deciding she has to find a way out of her marriage without losing custody of her son, Mara gets in touch with her own scheming side-a side she didn't know existed, but just might be even more cunning than Garrett's.
Jake Decker has partnered with Garrett to overtake Crescent City's booming property development industry. Mara sets her sights on making Jake her first extramarital lover to spite his wife and Garrett's mistress, Megan, but quickly forms an unexpected bond with Jake. As Mara becomes more desperate to get away from Garrett, Jake turns into her most trusted ally.
All she has to do is keep her feelings-and her heart-in check so she can escape Garrett's clutches. Unfortunately, she finds that to be easier said than done.
