Paid in Full

Wendy Hale was beautiful, clear-headed, but from a humble background. Out of gratitude and necessity, she agreed to be Julian Cromwell's stand-in for his first love for seven years. During that time, Julian time and again placed her in humiliating situations because of that first love. He was confident she would never leave him. But he didn't know that Wendy never lost sight of who she really was. She kept her feelings in check, and after repaying every last bit of the debt she owed him, she resolutely walked away. With her own strengths, she then crossed paths with Percival Thorne—a man from the top circles of Kingsborough who had been waiting for her all along.
