First-Person POV Romance 웹소설 & Ruthless Reject 스토리

"Move. You're blocking the photographer." "I didn't realize standing near my own sister was a crime." "It's not. It's just going to be a very different photo than the one my family paid for. Vivian's small enough to disappear into a doorway. You're not." That was the first thing Ryker Kane ever said to Selene Marlowe. It would not be the last time he made her feel like something to be managed instead of loved. Selene saved Ryker's life at ten years old, dragging him out of Meridian Lake with a strength her family never let her forget she had. Her sister Vivian, dry and delicate and utterly incapable of it, took the credit instead…and Ryker spent the next fourteen years loving the wrong girl for it. When Vivian's own reckless driving leaves her paralyzed, she blames Selene without hesitation, and the whole family believes her. Ryker hates Selene for a sin she never committed…right up until grief and whiskey blur the two sisters into one shape in the dark, and he takes what he believes belongs to him. He marries Selene to bury the scandal, making sure she understands exactly where she stands, her body included. Selene doesn't break. She has spent her whole life being told she takes up too much space, and she isn't about to shrink for a man who married her out of obligation. But Havenport buries very few secrets for long.

A story full of twists.
