I am pretty sure I had this saved so more than likely it was removed but maybe I can at least get linked to the author!
This was a really long series, I remember at least 19 parts, maybe more. It came out recently, within the last year.
The main character was a young-ish girl, maybe 19 or so. If I remember correctly her father owed the male lead a debt which he settled by giving her to him. He is a well known figure around town but he isn't a fancy business man type. Originally she was potentially going to be used as a prostitute in one of his bars but she kept freaking out so he decided to keep her at home instead for himself.
Even though she is his captive they eventually fall in love. They get married and he even builds her this beautiful house. I remember one pivotal scene for some reason they break all the plates and they have to get new ones.
In some of the later chapters she gets pregnant. She loses the baby, I feel like it was an ectopic pregnancy, nearly dies and is left infertile. She does come across the 4-6 year old child of a local drunk and end up adopting him. I think her husband actually bought the kid off the mother. She also adopted a dog and cat around the same time and the child spends lots of time with the animals.
There was a lot more as well but if you can't figure it out from that I don't think any more details will help!
Thanks so much!
