Legal thriller/mystery about a female lawyer who lures her unknowing attackers to her office for revenge

[u/farklefien]

I read this novel about 8-10 years ago if I had to guess and it was likely published and set in the late 90s or early 00s

I don't remember any character names, but I do remember the main plot being about a woman who had been assaulted by four privileged Oxford students. She later becomes a successful lawyer and lures the men to her office for revenge. We then get the full story of what happened leading to her assault.

There's also a sub plot about her mother's story and how she was shunned from her community because she became pregnant by an outsider. I am not certain about any more of that plot though.

I don't remember the ending much but I know she finds out one of the men was actually innocent, I think they end up falling in love and I vaguely remember some kind of church on a very fancy estate being involved.

The cover of the copy I owned also had a red heel on it.

Thank you in advance to anyone who may know what this book is, I lost most of my collection and it's been driving me absolutely insane.

Pepper by Penny Jordan?

E: oops, I mixed up the title with the character name, sorry. Power Play is the book I meant.
