I never believed I'd get married, and I definitely didn't think I'd marry a frigid billionaire who doesn't believe in love. I want to save my mom's bookshop and take care of my little sister. My name is Amara Cole. Things don't always go the way we want them to, though. When Alexander Vaughn offers me a bargain, I say yes: a false marriage for money. It should have been simple. No feelings. Not love. Just acting. But the longer I stay with him, the more I see the true man behind his frigid gaze. And the more my heart forgets that this is all a game. Then I find out the truth. He didn't choose me by accident. He knew something about my past that I didn't know. I don't know what's worse: the falsehoods he told me or the fact that I fell in love with him nevertheless. And the worst part is? I think he loves me too.

He was quiet, but I gave him my heart. For years, I lived in a big house with cold floors, mean whispers, and a husband who never stood up for me. His mother ran to our house. We broke up because he didn't talk to me. I left with nothing but my pride and a growing secret. Adrian Cross came by later. He was a wealthy man who saw me, heard me, and made me believe in love again. I can't keep quiet anymore now that Daniel knows I'm pregnant with his child. Right now, two guys want me: one feels bad about it and the other loves me. This time, I'm going to choose myself.

I let Daniel's mother break my heart when he gave her the power to do so. For years, I felt like a shadow in my own marriage—ignored, quiet, and ashamed. I finally left when his mother let another woman into our house. Adrian Cross made me feel seen, loved, and safe when I met him. I thought I was done with love. Daniel gave me the love I asked for. Life isn't always easy, though. We began to plan our future together, but then I found out I was having Daniel's baby. Dan wants me to come back right now. Even though I'm not the same person who left. I know what I'm worth, I have a choice, and I have a voice. And this time I won't break.
