Crown of Thorns and Roses

Savannah Sterling awakens on her 20th birthday with memories of a life that ended in betrayal. Her fiancé, Carter Grayson, and his adopted sister, Lily, took control of her family’s fortune, murdered her parents, and left Savannah buried alive. Now she knows the same day is meant to bind her to Carter through a marriage lottery, and she refuses to follow that script. Savannah destroys the lottery box and offers her hand through an auction instead. Felix Harrison, a mysterious Eastern trade magnate who has secretly loved her since she helped him as a homeless orphan, makes an extraordinary bid and wins. As Carter and Lily try to force Savannah back into their plans, Felix stands beside her. Their confrontation brings the Graysons’ crimes into the open and gives Savannah a chance to reclaim her future.
