Ruined & Redeemed: The Earl's Fallen Wife (Book 9)
What readers say:
💙“Read until three in the morning!”
💙“Charlotte was a survivor and when faced with death, she made a choice to live.” 💙“I've been reading the entire series and don't mind paying for the books at all. This author is a master at character development. The characters are unforgettable.”With her heart pounding against her ribs, Charlotte sat in shock, staring at the man in front of her who had just made her an offer of marriage because his father would deem her unsuitable.
Had she misunderstood him? Never had she heard of such a line of thinking. Certainly, it was not unheard of that a son sought to rebel against his father, but never in such a way. Was he serious?
“I assure you, Miss Ferris, that I do not share my father’s opinion,” he added when all she could do was continue to stare at him. “You are a beautiful woman of infallible character, graceful manners and most importantly you have a kind heart. All these qualities recommend you to me.“
Knowing that at some point she would have to respond, Charlotte swallowed. “You cannot be serious, my lord.”
“I am,” he assured her. “I propose a marriage of convenience, which after all is the usual way to conduct the marriage business. However, where such dealings are usually influenced by title and fortune, ours shall be based on other attractions.” A teasing note came to his voice as he spoke the last word, and Charlotte couldn’t help but wonder whether the reasons he stated were true. “I offer you a secure life. After all, I am the heir to my father’s title and fortune. In return, you help me exact revenge on my father for the cruelty he bestowed on my sister.”
Shaking her head, Charlotte struggled to find words to express the tumult raging in her heart and mind. “I mean no offence, my lord, but surely you must be jesting. Surely, for a grown man of your years to act like a little boy whose favourite toy was taken away, there can be no other explanation.”
He laughed then, and Charlotte relaxed a little, relieved that he did not seem prone to uncontrolled fits of anger.
A frown came to her face. Was she truly considering his proposal?
She lost herself to survive. He found her when he wasn’t even looking. Lady Charlotte has been called many things—victim, villain, broken. In truth, she carries pieces of each and wears none of them proudly. After years of cruelty and choices no soul should be forced to make, she believes her heart beyond repair. So she lives quietly. No hope. No expectations. Just endurance.
He married her to defy his father. He stayed to make a promise. Sebastian Campbell intended his proposal as rebellion—a calculated strike against the father whose control has cast shadows over his life. Charlotte was meant to be a symbol. A name. A quiet match that made noise. But from the moment he sees her, wounded but upright, something shifts. What began in defiance becomes something deeper.
Their arrangement may have begun as rebellion, but it evolves into something far more profound. Charlotte fears the cage of marriage, but Sebastian offers not restraint, only refuge. And slowly, when he begins to see not what she endured but who she’s becoming, Charlotte starts to see herself through gentler eyes—those of a man who chooses her for who she is, not what she survived.
She thought she was too far gone. He never stopped believing in her return.
