Start from Chapter 1About this novel
Lyra Ashford, a young doctor, believed her life with her fiancé, Lucas Arden, was just beginning. But everything changed when Lucas suddenly left to go abroad, postponing their wedding without even asking her. He simply assumed she would wait for him to return.
But Lyra, to protect her family, she agreed to marry Rowan Pierce instead—a man she never imagined she could love.
At the altar, Rowan made it clear he would not accept a marriage of convenience. He wanted Lyra to choose him freely, not out of obligation.
