About this ebook

I was forced into this marriage to save my father's life and our family's empire, but my husband has other plans.

He wants to sell Tate Media for parts and make himself billions in the process. 

The only way I can stop him is to expose his not-so-secret life.

Franklin Parks is a monster. We have all heard the rumors, but anyone who has dared to stand up to him has been silenced. Now, it’s my turn.  

He is protected by all of the rich and powerful because he protects their secrets in return. 

There's only person I can trust: Henry Asher, the love of my life.

I shouldn’t get him involved. It’s too dangerous, but we can’t stay away from each other. 

Can I escape my marriage and save my legacy or will I lose everything and everyone I love in the process?

Ratings and reviews

3.5 stars—FATAL MARRIAGE is the third and final instalment in Charlotte Byrd’s contemporary, adult WEDLOCKED romantic, suspense trilogy focusing on twenty-five year old heiress Aurora Tate, and high school teacher turned investigative reporter Henry Asher. FATAL MARRIAGE should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events of book two Lethal Wedding. NOTE: If you have not read the first two books in the series, there may be some spoilers in my review. WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers. Told for dual first person perspectives ( Aurora and Henry) FATAL MARRIAGE follows in the aftermath of Aurora Tate’s marriage to wealthy businessman Franklin Parks, a marriage meant to secure her parent’s future but a marriage that Aurora is hoping to remain in name only. Several months earlier Aurora Tate discovered her parents had virtually bankrupted the pension fund for Tate Media, and in the ensuing time Aurora had been forced into a marriage with a man she did not love but a man with predilections for the younger girls. With the help of Henry Asher, Aurora sets into motion a plan to take down Franklin Parks, but in doing so, will probably take down her parents, in the process. As Aurora’s life with Franklin begins spiralling our of control, Henry struggles knowing the woman he loves is placing herself in danger on a daily basis. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship and love between Aurora and Henry, and the potential fall-out as Franklin’s jealousy rears its abusive side directed at both of our leading characters. FATAL MARRIAGE is the culmination of three story lines focusing on money, greed, and the powerful elite; on one woman’s desperate battle to take down a man who has destroyed so many lives, and one man’s love for said woman, and his unwavering support on a daily basis. The premise is engaging and intriguing; the romance is passionate and steamy; the characters are energetic and charismatic. I did struggle with a few points of believability but such is the nature of fictional stories; and I was hoping for an epilogue or information regarding Aurora and Henry’s relationship future.

Not as dark as I like so I didn't enjoy it as much as I could have. That being said, this book was very well written. Lots of intrigue and a good plot. Great ending to a trilogy.

Fatal Marriage is the final book in Charlotte Byrd's Wedlocked Trilogy and concludes the story of Aurora, Henry, and Franklin. Charlotte has once again written another five star read filled with amazing characters which are extremely well developed, and a suspenseful plot filled with secrets, betrayal, deceit, unexpected twists, strong emotions, and sizzling romance. This fantastic book and series will keep you on the edge of your seat! I received an arc in return for an honest and voluntary review.
