Leah, Logan’s adopted sister, threw a tantrum at our first engagement party, an episode of her pup dependency anxiety.

Aurora should have stepped back when Andrews glared at her with anger upon realizing she wasn’t who he expected.

Trapped in a web of lies and resentment, how long will Aurora endure the scorn of the man she was forced to marry? And when will Andrews realize that perhaps he married the wrong woman… or the right one, the only one who can make him face what haunts him?
