And when my cousin disappears just hours before the ceremony, Xavier decides he wants a different bride. Me. Five years ago, I walked away from him. Now he wants to make me his wife. He doesn't remember loving me. He doesn't remember betraying me. Lucky him. I remember enough for both of us. And yet, against every ounce of common sense I have left, I'm letting him get dangerously close. Because having my heart broken by Xavier Bandini once wasn't enough to teach me a damn thing. Now, I have a lot more to lose than my heart.
