Clearing My Name

Elara Vance, a brilliant architect, is framed for a bridge collapse that kills 53 people. She serves ten years in prison, then tries to rebuild a quiet life — until her manipulative ex-husband Silas and the woman who actually caused the disaster, Ivy Thorne, systematically destroy everything she builds. Beaten, thrown into a river, and left for dead, she's rescued by Julian — a childhood friend turned billionaire who never stopped believing in her. Ivy goes to prison. Elara lets her old life go, falls in love with Julian, opens a bookshop in London, and finally, genuinely chooses herself.
