LOGINEleanor worked herself to the bone—three jobs a day, even selling her mother’s only heirloom—all to pay off her boyfriend Luca’s debts. Then, on their third anniversary, she caught him shopping for rings… with her best friend. Turns out, Luca isn’t the struggling artist he pretended to be.

Under both Sebastian’s and Luca’s gazes, I had no choice but to steady my breath, lift my chin, and walk toward them. Each step felt like crossing a tightrope that was seconds away from snapping.I reached them on shaky legs. Luca gestured proudly toward the man—my man, the almost-man, the man whose
The question Luca hurled at me hung in the air. I could almost feel it slicing through the space between us.What really happened between you two out there?I opened my mouth then closed it again.A part of me wanted to lay everything bare.Not the whole truth, of course. I would take Sebastian's fi
