Binding Deception

Mark keeps his wife in a marriage with no affection in it and a fair amount of violence. Her family's debts mean Evelyn cannot divorce him, and the terms she is given for her freedom are that she produce an heir first. Ruth is around too, making things worse. One bad night at a bar, Evelyn takes Matthew for a paid escort and signs an expensive contract with him to be her lover. He is the heir to a very wealthy family. He looks after her and stands with her against Mark and Ruth, and the two of them fall in love. His real identity, an engagement arranged for him by his family, and the debts keep separating them. There are schemes against her and trouble with the pregnancy, and she gives birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
