Reborn To Claim The Ruthless CEO

Catlaina Sloggett Romance

“Gidget Wiggins spent forty years suffocating under a family that devoured her, dying in agony after being betrayed by her husband, Donn Sharpe. When she opened her eyes, the phantom pain vanished. She was eighteen, sitting on expensive silk sheets on her wedding night. But the man stepping out of the bathroom wasn't Donn. It was Doctor Strong, the ruthless tech mogul destined to die young and leave his empire in chaos. Her envious stepsister, Cortney, had secretly swapped their grooms. Cortney stole Donn, believing she was securing a happy life while handing Gidget a doomed husband. Cortney and Donn were already celebrating their stolen victory, waiting for the notoriously cold Doctor Strong to kick Gidget out of the master suite. Donn even sought her out in the hallway, reeking of cheap liquor, just to mock her. "Dumped on your wedding night? Cortney and I are having a much better time." The memories of Donn's past-life betrayals and Cortney's sickening arrogance made Gidget's skin crawl. They thought this groom-swap was the ultimate curse, a guaranteed path to strip away her future and leave her to rot in helpless misery once the mogul died. But Cortney was a fool. Gidget had no intention of being a victim again. If she wanted to survive the coming storm, she needed absolute power, she needed an heir, and she needed to keep this billionaire alive. Slipping into a burgundy dress, she marched straight toward Doctor Strong's private study.”
