But when the man who left me suddenly wants me back, I face a choice: forgive a love that abandoned me, or reclaim my life and finally break free from the chains of family, wealth, and heartache. A story of heartbreak, betrayal, and slow-burning love. Will Anna let Sam back in, or will she finally choose herself?
