Even Though I Was Dumped in My Golden Age, I Still Found My True Love

For twenty-five years, Macie Lancaster believed her marriage to Cedric Larkin was a refuge. After a brutal attack left her unable to conceive, Cedric stood by her through endless treatments, and when she unexpectedly became pregnant at fifty, he wept with joy and swept her away to a mountainside villa to recover.

Then his fitness watch sent an alert: his heart rate spiked, then his vital signs vanished. Searching the trail, Macie found only the shattered watch—and overheard Cedric in the bushes with Sandra Lancaster, her adopted sister. The attack years ago was his doing. The pregnancy is a threat to their plan to use her as a surrogate for their own child, and he intends to destroy her at their anniversary party.

Cornered, Macie calls Frank Larkin, Cedric's exiled half-brother, who offers his help on one condition: she must marry him. She agrees, asking only ten days to end her marriage—while Cedric and Sandra calmly plot the ruin of everything she has left.
