Victoria Vance arrives home to her powerful crime family only to be ambushed by fiancé Vincent Lucchese and his surrogate Chloe. He inflicts ninety-nine lashes, locks her in an oxygen-deprivation chamber, and forces her to serve at a sham ceremony. Desperate, she summons Zane, the European magnate who rescued her as a child and waited a decade. They wed, and his steady devotion mends her fractured spirit. Vincent eventually discovers the truth, regrets his cruelty, and perishes in a mudslide while shielding her. Freed from the past, Victoria embraces philanthropy and builds a future with Zane and their daughter.
