With one letter, that’s what he did to me,
irrevocably splitting my heart down the middle,
causing everything we once shared in secret to become nothing more than a distant memory.
One I try desperately to forget.
So, imagine my shock when my brothers stood before me
to tell me who my new bodyguard would be while I fought back tears,
pretending my heart had never belonged to him.
And only him.
Especially since another man’s ring now rests on my finger.
Yet, every moment spent in his presence makes it harder to stay away.
Every secret embrace makes it nearly impossible to remember why I should hate him.
Even though I never could.
But as lines get crossed and feelings threaten to unravel everything,
there’s one thing I must remind myself:
This wedding is happening,
whether I want it to or not.
There’s just one problem.
The same man who is doing everything in his power to stop me from walking down the aisle
is the one I’m ultimately doing it all for:
Eli Lyon.
