Julian Sterling, heir to a New York financial dynasty, had been my boyfriend for three years. Yet he never set a wedding date. Instead, he fell for my stepsister at first sight and pursued her openly. Everyone waited for me to make a fool of myself. But this time, I didn't cry or throw a fit. I took off the emerald pendant he gave me and personally burned the wedding dress I had spent three years designing. Finally, on his birthday, I left New York and flew to Charleston. Right before I walked out the door, his assistant was still pressing me. "Miss Bennett, Mr. Sterling is waiting. What time should I tell him you're coming over?" I smiled and didn't answer. No one knew that half a month ago, I had already accepted a proposal from my old college friend, Adrian. As soon as I arrived in Charleston, we were getting married.
