Left at the Alter, Beyond Her Reach

At his engagement ceremony, Damon Wells is publicly jilted when Elise Stone chooses her old flame, Felix Blake. She has no idea Damon has quietly propped up her family for years, or that Felix only wants her to rescue his failing fortune. Damon walks away with dignity and accepts an arranged marriage to heiress Iris Stone. When Damon withdraws his backing and Felix's mask slips, Elise realizes the man she discarded is now far beyond her reach.
