I Own Controlling Interest, I Fired My Husband And His Mistress

Carrie Hughes built a multimillion-dollar company on precision, accuracy, and zero tolerance for error. But she forgot to measure her own marriage.

When Carrie catches her charismatic husband and co-founder, Ian, in a compromising position on their mahogany conference table with the company’s newest PR director, she doesn't scream or throw things. She does the math. As the 51% majority shareholder of Hughes Precision Systems, Carrie executes a flawlessly calculated corporate restructuring. The mistress is fired. Ian is stripped of his title, his company card, and his corner office, and promptly relocated to a windowless supply closet.

Carrie is fully prepared to manage the ruthless fallout of a corporate divorce. What she isn't prepared for is Ian's reaction.

Instead of fighting back, the disgraced executive takes his demotion on the chin. Stripped of his ego, his perks, and his leverage, Ian sets out to prove his worth from the warehouse floor up. As the company faces a hostile takeover and a supply chain crisis, Ian quietly becomes the unexpected linchpin in Carrie's defense, forcing her to question if the husband she thought she knew is finally a man worth keeping.

Sharp, empowering, and surprisingly tender, this is a story about corporate warfare, shattered trust, and the grueling, unglamorous work of second chances.
