He Came Too Late, I'd Already Left

Ninety-nine lashes shatter her; a decade-old promise saves her.
Victoria Vance steps back into her family's estate expecting a welcome, but her fiancé Vincent Lucchese sides with his surrogate Chloe, ordering a public slap followed by ninety-nine lashes, a forced apology, kidnapping, and an oxygen-deprivation chamber that nearly kills her. Paraded as a bridesmaid at a sham ceremony, she sends a desperate text to Z, the shadowy figure who rescued her at age nine, demanding a meeting at City Hall in five days. Z arrives as Zane, a European tycoon who has waited a decade, and they marry, his tenderness beginning to mend her fractured spirit.
