She's running from a forced marriage. He's holding onto the promise she forgot.
And one lie could ruin them both.
Annabelle Waters:
When I return to Lord's Valley, it's not for love. It's not even for redemption.
It's survival.
The man I married is a monster—and I'm trapped in a blackmail scheme that could land me in prison… or worse. So when Derek Fields, the brooding mechanic I once gave my heart—and my body—to, offers me a place to stay, I accept.
Even if he doesn't know the truth.
Even if staying with him means lying through my teeth.
But Derek sees too much. Feels too deep. And every time he touches me, I remember the girl I used to be. The girl who swore she'd never need saving—until now.
He says he'd do anything to protect me.
He has no idea what that'll cost.
Derek Fields:
Annabelle was always mine. Even when she left without a goodbye.
But now she's back. Broken. Hiding. And every instinct I've got is screaming to pull her close and never let go.
She thinks I don't know she's lying. But I see the bruises. I hear the panic in her voice when she thinks I'm not listening.
And I'll burn this whole damn town to the ground before I let anyone hurt her again.
The problem is, I need her to marry me—for real.
To save my land.
But the deeper I fall, the more I realize:
Annabelle's not just keeping secrets.
She's living a lie that could destroy us both.
