In her sixth year on a peacekeeping mission, Samantha was critically injured and rushed into emergency surgery. Kendrick was begging for her life all the time. After she woke, he barely slept for half a year while caring for her himself. Everyone believed Kendrick loved Samantha beyond measure, and Samantha believed it too. She submitted her discharge application without hesitation, willing to trade every honor and medal she had earned for a quiet, steady life by his side. Becoming an ordinary wife felt worth it as long as she could stay with him. Everything changed when Jenny, Kendrick's estranged stepsister, returned from abroad in stunning fashion. The man who had always been cold and restrained suddenly wavered, and everyone knew the reason. They had once been bound by a forbidden, all-consuming love. Samantha was forced to confront the truth that the life she had sacrificed everything for might never have been hers at all.
