Louisa Burg's life has never been easy.
Her mother died when she was just a child and left her in the care of a coldhearted father and a stepmother that could not care less. The only light in her life had been her debut. In her mind everything would change when she was introduced to society. She would at last be able to make friends and maybe even find someone who cared for her enough to marry her. Someone kind.
Her father broke those dreams the day he told her she was getting married to Nathanial Rosewood, the future Earl of Rosewood. Married to a man she had never heard of and never seen.
Will these two strangers be able to make this marriage work? Will Nathaniel be able to find the strong woman that's buried deep within his drab little mouse to wife?
And when Nathaniel breaks her, will they be able to make this sham of a marriage work?

Beyond The Break
Synopsis _ What I said to him and his hand on my stomach was like stimulator, before I knew it I found myself on the floor. I placed my hand on my abdomen, in an attempt to protect our unborn baby. "Oomph" I groaned at the pain, as my butt hit the floor. Nate stood staring at me, with red eyes. To be precise, my stomach. I used my left hand which I used to prop myself from the fall, after he pushed me in an attempt to assist my right hand in protecting my stomach. It was bone chilling. I was so frightened, i could feel cold sweat on my forehead. "Let go of me you bastard" I said trying to loosen his grip from my hair. He only let go after he pulled me to the coffee table , in a kneeling position. "Now fucking sign it, don't let me completely lose my temper. Or I swear to God, you won't believe what's going to happen to you" My red hair fell loosely on my face, the pain from my scalp was evident to what Nate could do if I resisted. - Everybody seems to crave tales of unlikely love, like the rich boy and poor girl or the rich heir and humble maid. I wish more stories would focus on the authenticity of human experiences rather than make such clichéd storylines. My story is a testament to resilience and perseverance through misfortune. What I've gone through has been nothing but "expect the unexpected." 'My name is Ashley, his ex-wife.'
