Mrs. Vale by Contract

Lomena Romance

“The day before her wedding, Lydia loses everything. After giving her heart, and the one thing she had protected for years to the man she was about to marry, she catches him in bed with her own stepsister. Heartbroken, humiliated, and desperate to escape the pain, one drunken night throws her into the path of Louis Vale, the cold, ruthless CEO business empire fears. To Louis, marriage is nothing more than a contract. To Lydia, it's the last thing she wants after the betrayal. But when Louis presents her with a one-year marriage contract, Lydia finds herself trapped. With her mother's fragile place in the family hanging in the balance, refusing him is a risk she cannot afford to take. Behind the glamorous image of Mr. and Mrs. Vale lies a relationship built on lies, resentment, and wounds neither of them is willing to face. As Lydia slowly falls for the man who sees marriage as nothing more than a business deal, Louis begins to realize that the woman he once judged as greedy is quietly becoming the only person capable of melting his frozen heart. Unfortunately for him... By the time he learns to love her, Lydia has already learned to let him go, and another man is offering her the peace she has always longed for. Will Louis convince the woman he broke to give him a second chance, or will Lydia choose the man who showed her what love was always meant to feel like?”
