    Description:
    Iris Sullivan has discovered the perfect proof of her husband's affair: a deep fingernail scratch on the collar of his shirt, a blatant provocation from his mistress. But in their world of wealth and power, evidence isn't enough. She signed a brutal prenup—the betrayer leaves with nothing.
    
    Trapped in a gilded cage, Iris plays the perfect, unsuspecting wife while her husband, Julian, weaves a web of deception, orchestrating a public scandal to frame her for infidelity and leave her destitute. But he has underestimated the woman he vowed to love. Behind her tearful facade, Iris is already several moves ahead, masterminding a dangerous counterplot of her own.
