Tell me I haven't lost you forever.

Life doesn’t always work out the way you want it to.

If I had my way, I would’ve married him in a heartbeat. Even knowing the consequences, I would’ve fallen willingly and gladly into his raging storm. It didn’t matter that we were teenagers, that he was the heir to the rival Keane family, or that I was arguably too young to know he was the love of my life. When we were together, all that danger was just static noise we tuned out… until that fateful day.

Eleven years later, I can still find the sharp ache of his betrayal right where it burrowed. It’s haunted me with each breath, no matter how often I lied to myself I was moving on.

Only now, my brother has gone missing. Sent into Keane territory on a mission to be made, no one has heard from Mason in weeks. Any goodwill I had with the Bianchi family dried up long ago, when my father died. Now, the only way I can save my brother is to swallow the bitter sting of betrayal and beg Callahan for help. Somehow, I choke the words out, each one more painful than the last, but for Mason, I’d do anything.

The only catch? Callahan needs a wife. And he’s been waiting for the day I return.
