On the night of her engagement party, Veronica stumbles upon a devastating truth—her fiancé is locked in a heated, passionate affair with another woman. Calling off the wedding means disaster. Her bedridden father and the company he has spent his life building will collapse overnight. But pretending she doesn't know? Smiling through the betrayal and sharing a man with someone else? The tears burning in her eyes tell her one thing—she's not that kind of woman. She flees the wine cellar, the scent of sex and betrayal clinging to her like a cruel reminder, desperate to escape the chaos unraveling her life. But in her rush, she collides with a broad, unyielding chest. "You're... my brother's bride?" Maxwell's voice is deep, steady, and unreadable. And just like that, Veronica realizes—maybe she has another way out.
