Synopsis
He saved my grandmother’s life—then demanded mine in return. For five years, I lived in the shadow of Harrison Grant: his executive assistant by day, his secret lover by night. I was never his equal, just the woman he kept close until someone better came along. When he cast me aside for a perfect match, I thought I’d finally broken free—until he returned, demanding I marry a stranger to tidy up his own engagement. Enter Caleb Foster: rough, honest, and nothing like the man I used to love. Our marriage was supposed to be fake, but somewhere between shared meals and silent nights, I found the kind of devotion I never thought I deserved. Now, with my old life crumbling in scandal and my heart on the line, I have to choose: keep haunting the past, or finally step into the sun. Can love bloom after goodbye—or was I only ever someone’s backup plan?
