LOGINShe came home to marry the man she loved. She didn't know she was walking into a war... Five years ago, Amber Laurent left home as a reckless, spoiled girl who thought the world revolved around her. Now... She returns as something entirely different. A disciplined soldier... A fearless woman... And the same girl who has never stopped loving Cedric Sterling... But the man waiting for her is no longer the powerful heir she remembers. Cedric is now confined to a wheelchair after a devastating accident that killed his father and left him disabled. His girlfriend abandoned him, his family treats him like a burden, and everyone believes his life is over. Everyone except Amber... The moment she saw him, she made one decision. She will marry him! No matter what his family says or what society thinks. And certainly no matter what anyone thinks about his wheelchair. But Amber doesn't know that Cedric has spent the last five years hiding something. Cedric has been secretly hunting the people responsible for the accident and building an empire of his own. He doesn't want to reclaim his family's empire... He wants to destroy it. Now Amber has returned to his side, determined to protect her husband from anyone who dares hurt him. But the deeper she digs into the Sterling family's secrets, the more she realizes that the people she trusts most may be connected to the tragedy that changed Cedric's life. And when the truth finally comes to light, Amber will have to choose between the family she has always trusted… and the husband she swore to protect. This time, the soldier isn't fighting for her country. She is fighting a war to win, enemies who have no idea what they just unleashed, and a husband to protect!

Cedric's wheelchair had overturned near the bottom of the stairs, his body lying awkwardly against the floor, one arm trapped beneath him as the shattered pieces of a decorative vase scattered across the steps. For one terrifying second, Amber couldn't breathe... Then Victoria dropped beside her son. “Cedric! Son, are you okay?” Elena was already kneeling on his other side, her hands trembling as she carefully reached for his shoulder. “Brother, are you hurt? Cedric, please say something.” Cedric groaned, his face twisted with pain as he tried to move. “I’m fine,” he managed, though his voice was strained. “I just... lost control of the chair.” Amber's eyes immediately snapped upward, and her gaze landed on Julian, who was standing halfway up the staircase with his fac
Julian's face turned red. “Shut up!” Cedric's voice remained painfully calm. “She chose me, Julian. Get over it.” “Shut up!” Julian shouted again. Cedric didn't even flinch. “She returned after five years and married me the same day.” Julian's breathing became heavier, his anger quickly overtaking whatever restraint he had left. Cedric watched him closely. “You can spend the rest of your life trying to take her from me,” he said calmly, “but you will never become the man she wants.” Julian's fists clenched. “You think you're better than me?” Cedric shook his head. “Yes.” A faint smile appeared on his lips. “And I'm also the man she loves.”The sentence struck Julian harder than any insult could have. He stepped forward angrily, his voice rising as he spat, “You're nothing but a cripple sitting in a chair!” Cedric's eyes turned ice-cold. “Then why are you so afraid of me?” Julian froze. For a moment, neither man moved. Then the front door opened downstairs, and voices drifted
By the time Amber returned to Sterling Mansion, it was almost evening. The shopping bags filled nearly the entire back seat, but the women inside seemed far more interested in reliving the events of the afternoon than in the expensive purchases surrounding them. Elena had spent most of the drive home laughing about the incident at the mall, occasionally repeating the expression on Cassandra's face when she discovered that the entire place belonged to Amber's maternal family. Victoria had laughed too. Not once or twice. But again and again. It was the kind of laughter Amber hadn't heard from her since returning, and that was exactly why she kept making Elena tell the story again. “So then you should have seen her face,” Elena said between bursts of laughter. “She actually thought she could have us thrown out!” Lily laughed beside her. “And then Amber fired the employee.” “He deserved it,” Amber said matter-of-factly. Victoria shook her head, still smiling. “I can't believe you d
A familiar voice suddenly stopped them. “Well, this is unexpected.” Victoria froze, and Elena's smile disappeared immediately. Amber noticed the change in both women and turned around. A group of people stood near one of the luxury boutiques, and at the center was a beautiful young woman dressed in an expensive designer outfit. Cassandra Sterling! She was one of Cedric's relatives and had always considered herself one of the most important young women in the Sterling family. Beside her stood her mother, Diana Sterling, surrounded by several other relatives and acquaintances. Cassandra's eyes landed on Victoria, and a mocking smile slowly appeared on her face. “Well, well, well.” Victoria immediately lowered her eyes without saying anything, but Cassandra walked toward them. “I didn't know you still went shopping.” Victoria remained silent, and Cassandra looked her up and down with obvious contempt. “Actually, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.
