Sold to the Stable Hand

Bought as a child bride to bring prosperity to a wealthy household, a young woman devotes eighteen years to her arrogant betrothed. Her world shatters when her profligate fiancé carelessly wagers her away in a gambling den, transferring her hand to a dusty stable worker. Resigned to a humble, impoverished future, the weeping bride prepares to serve her uncouth spouse in a modest barn. Instead, she finds herself treated with unexpected tenderness and profound respect. As she adjusts to her new life, strange clues reveal that her quiet stable groom is actually a noble aristocrat concealing vast influence, leaving her foolish ex-fiancé to rue his disastrous mistake.
