About the book
Victoria Ashford-Vance believes in paper. Deeds, ledgers, contracts. Paper does not lie, and paper says the estate is hers, the company is hers, and her husband is an employee.
So when she returns from a business trip to find movers hauling her furniture onto the lawn and a stranger on her front steps directing them, she does not scream. She asks to see the lease.
The woman on the steps is Nora Miller. She has two children, a coat that isn't warm enough, and a story about Victoria that isn't true, one she was told so carefully, and so often, that she never thought to check it.
Both women have been lied to by the same man. Neither of them yet knows how far the lie goes.
A novel about money, marriage, and the difference between owning something and being allowed to keep it.
Read the full description
Victoria Ashford-Vance has spent her life believing in one simple rule: what is written on paper cannot be argued with.
Deeds establish ownership. Contracts establish obligation. Numbers reveal the truth.
Then she comes home early from a business trip and finds her furniture scattered across the lawn of her family estate.
Inside the house are another woman, two children, and a story Victoria was never told.
Nora Miller believed Julian Vance when he told her his marriage was over. She believed him when he promised her and her children a home. She believed him because, for the first time in years, a man seemed to see her, listen to her, and offer her a way out of a life built around debt and survival.
But Julian has been lying to both women.
As Victoria begins pulling apart his story, she uncovers missing money, hidden accounts, forged documents, an old family secret, and a sophisticated blackmail operation reaching far beyond her marriage.
Then she finds a letter that changes everything.
The truth about Julian is far worse than infidelity.
And the truth about Victoria herself may be the thing that finally sets her free.
HER SOVEREIGN RIGHT is a gripping family thriller about marriage, wealth, betrayal, manipulation, inheritance, and two women who discover that the enemy they thought they had is not the enemy they actually face.
Because sometimes taking back your life begins with taking back the right to define what belongs to you.
