Book Description
From USA Today Bestselling Author Sylvia McDaniel A Marriage Built on Lies, a Love That Defies All Alexandra Thurston’s life was shattered when her husband branded her a scarlet woman, accusing her of infidelity and divorcing her in disgrace. Now, she’s determined to clear her name and live on her terms—never to be tied down by marriage again. But her father has other plans. Desperate for an heir to his banking fortune, he’s determined to marry her off. When Alexandra is unexpectedly caught in a compromising situation with the dashing plantation owner, Connor Manning, her fate takes a turn she never imagined. Connor Manning has only one love: his beloved River Bend plantation. Facing ruin at the hands of the taxman, he’s willing to do anything—even marry for money—to save it. But when he agrees to wed the fiercely independent Alexandra, he doesn’t expect the fiery beauty to capture his heart. As passion ignites between them, both must confront the truth of their marriage—built on secrets and a betrayal that could destroy them both. Will their desire for each other be enough to bridge the gap, or will the foundation of lies tear them apart? Fans of Shirlee Busbee and Merry Farmer will enjoy this tale of a scorned woman.
