On the eve of my wedding, I discovered my fiancé, Parker Carroll, whispering with the woman he had always loved, Danna Cooke, inside what was meant to be our new home. Hidden beneath the eaves, I watched them—two lovers entwined, clinging to each other as if the world beyond that moment did not exist. Danna's voice trembled as she said, "Parker, after you're married, will you fall in love with Victoria?" A flicker of disgust crossed his face. "Danna, of all people, you should know me better than that. I could never love the daughter of the woman who killed my mother. "Don't worry. I'm only marrying her to break her. Once she enters the Carroll family, I'll make sure she's dead within a month. "When she's gone, I'll give you a grand wedding. And this time, we'll never be parted again."
