Self-love
She 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!
