The Ruined Bride - Paperback

by Lily D. Grays (Author)

Unable to bear the smallest touch, Sophie is about to become someone's wife.

Once the cherished daughter of a powerful family, Sophie has become the woman society whispers about: the ruined bride, abandoned by her fiancé and marked by a scandal she never chose.

Marrying her comes with a price.

So when Viktor Rowks, a man with a reputation as damaged as her own, asks for her hand, Sophie sees the offer for what it is: an exchange. One cage for another. One that will help her family, silence the whispers, and bury the ambitions she was never meant to have.

All with a man whose friends destroyed her life.

But is this marriage merely a way for Viktor to repair his reputation and secure a useful alliance, or is there something else beneath his motives?

And if Sophie agrees to this arranged marriage, will she lose herself within it, or finally find a way to reclaim her life?

The Ruined Bride contains themes of trauma healing, anxiety, and references to past sexual assault.
