When I Flash-Married a Billionaire, My Ex Went on a Hunger Strike

Adora Matthews, once the city's most dazzling socialite, was abducted and held captive in the mountains for three years before a nationwide anti-trafficking operation finally brought her home. She returns to the Matthews estate expecting a joyful reunion, only to find the house decorated for a celebration: her childhood sweetheart, Eugene Turner, is getting engaged to her adopted sister, Ruby Matthews.

Her parents treat her like a plague, her brother loathes her, and the guests whisper that she is diseased and disgraced. With no one left to turn to, Adora severs all ties and enters a flash marriage with Louis Walker, a brilliant but volatile surgical prodigy whom no one dares approach.

Yet the Matthews family soon faces imminent bankruptcy, and when they beg their son-in-law for help, Louis holds his wife close and asks how her flawless hands could have ruined them.
