Bound By Contract: My Disabled Husband

Evelyn Reed Romance

“Eleanor's family business was on the brink of collapse, and they desperately needed the Carlisle family's wealth to survive. Her father forced her to take her sister's place to marry Julian Carlisle, a paralyzed and notoriously cruel billionaire heir. Worse, her fiancé immediately abandoned her to stand by her sister's side, claiming they were now in love. To ensure Eleanor couldn't back out, her sister publicly pointed out a fresh, purplish mark on Eleanor's neck in the crowded hospital corridor. "Sis, you two are broken up. How could you be so careless?" It was a brutal reminder of the terrifying night before, when Eleanor was drugged and assaulted by a stranger in a pitch-black hotel room. Instead of defending her, her father looked at her with pure disgust. He threatened to cut off her beloved younger brother's college tuition and ruin his life if she didn't obey. Sold like damaged goods, Eleanor was sent to the imposing Carlisle estate, where Julian's relatives openly mocked her origins and accused her of being dirty. Her entire world had turned its back on her, leaving her utterly isolated and suffocating in shame. She couldn't understand how her own flesh and blood could sacrifice her so ruthlessly, nor did she know the identity of the mysterious man who ruined her. But standing in front of her terrifying new husband, Eleanor refused to shed another tear. She signed a one-year contract marriage, boldly rejected Julian's ten-million-dollar severance offer to keep her dignity, and publicly declared war on his abusive family. She was going to survive, find the man from that night, and make everyone who betrayed her pay.”
