Love Finds Me Again

In Harbor City, Mia Sterling is an heiress who once had countless men at her feet, yet her husband Mark Hayes has never wanted her. After five years of marriage, he has told her again and again that he cannot get aroused with her, and her pride crumbles under her family's pressure for a child. Desperate, she goes to the city's most exclusive private club to learn seduction from its most sought-after stripper.

There, a casual remark about a young chief researcher who has spent five years buying medication to suppress his sex drive turns Mia's world upside down. She rushes to the research institute and overhears Mark's own cold words: he believes she framed Professor Lane, Sienna Lane's father, and that their marriage is his revenge. Every humiliation, it seems, was meant to make her understand exactly what she is.

Mia drives to the Sterling family chapel and tells her father she wants a divorce. He reminds her of the ninety-nine lashes she once endured to marry Mark, and refuses to accept her decision.
