The Contract from the Tower

Charlotte was never the favorite daughter—but she never expected betrayal at her own engagement banquet. Drugged and framed by her stepsister Isabella, she was locked in a tower where she accidentally crossed paths with William Ashford, the enigmatic heir of the Ashford empire. One night changed everything. Pregnant and disgraced, Charlotte was thrown out and spent eight lonely years raising Leo in poverty. When an alumni dance brings the three of them into the same room again, secrets buried for nearly a decade are about to resurface—and William will finally learn what he left behind.
