Thirty-Two Calls

Thirty-Two Calls
Thirty-two chances to answer. He took none.

For nine years, Evangeline Foster loved Lance Rothwood from the shadows, hidden behind his duty-bound marriage and the empire he refused to abandon.

Nine years of stolen weekends.
Nine years of whispered promises.
Nine years of loving a man who would never choose her over his world.

She told herself she could wait.
She told herself love was enough.

Until the night she needed him most.

Thirty-two calls.
Thirty-two chances to answer.
He chose silence.

Alone, shaken, and finally awake to the truth, Evie makes the one decision Lance never expects—she disappears.

Not in fury.
Not in scandal.
But with devastating precision.

By the time the most powerful man in the city looks up from his empire, she is already gone.

No digital trail.
No forwarding address.
No trace of the woman who once loved him beyond reason.

For the first time in his life, Lance Rothwood is powerless.

Because money can rebuild empires.
But it cannot undo abandonment.

Now he must dismantle the very world he once protected to find the woman he failed.
And Evie—stronger, wiser, finally free—must decide if love deserves a second chance… or if some silences are unforgivable.
