A husband, a family, and the fragile future she was holding onto. Skylar Blackwood had once believed sacrifice was love. To save her father from prison, she agreed to marry into the powerful Blackwood family, giving up her final year of college and reshaping her entire life around a man who never truly loved her. Instead, she was discarded, humiliated, and broken in the very moment she needed him most. Then came the man she was never meant to meet.
