Sa isang salu-salo na inihanda para sa kanya, si Nathan ay pumasok nang may kapansin-pansin na presensya at sa puso ni Léa, isang bitak ang nagbukas.

She loved him in silence. From the moment she could remember, Sophia Thomas had watched Daniel Harper — her older brother Nathan’s golden-boy best friend — from afar. He was everything: charming, confident, kind. And to him? She was just “Nathan’s little sister.” At fifteen, she tried not to care. Tried not to notice how his smile lit up a room or how his laughter made her heart race. But when Daniel comes home from college and agrees to tutor her in math, Sophia realizes something painful: She never stopped loving him. As they spend more time together, buried feelings begin to surface — on both sides. What starts as stolen glances and quiet longing turns into late-night talks, shared secrets, and moments neither of them expected. But there are rules: - Don’t fall for your brother’s best friend. - Don’t let him see you as anything more than family. - Don’t believe he’ll ever feel the same. Too late.

On the day the true heiress and I swapped places, my childhood sweetheart, bound to me by a promise made in youth, gripped my hand before our families and declared, "I chose you, not your title." Anna Pedersen, tears brimming in her eyes, enveloped me in a trembling embrace. "Joanne, we'll always be family. I'd never take what's rightfully yours." Everyone assumed I'd turned misfortune into fortune. Though I lost my status as the Pedersen heiress, I gained a steadfast lover and a selfless sister. But three years after fate corrected itself, photos of Calvin Thomas escorting Anna to a prenatal checkup flooded the internet. When I confronted him, he exhaled a plume of smoke and said coolly, "Anna is my true betrothed. This is just setting things right. Why are you so worked up?" He seized my wrist and dragged our engraved engagement ring across the back of my hand, leaving a bloody gash. "This scar will remind you of the twenty years of life you stole. Your life and I belong to their rightful owner."

J’ai cru que ma vie s’arrêtait le jour où j’ai poussé les portes de l’église. Il faisait beau ce jour-là. Un soleil de juillet qui traversait les vitraux en longs rubans dorés. Ma robe était blanche, mes cheveux étaient coiffés, mes invités étaient là. Cent cinquante personnes. Cent cinquante paires d’yeux braquées sur moi. J’attendais. Une heure. Deux heures. Thomas n’est jamais venu. À la place, j’ai reçu un message. « Elle est enceinte, désolé. » Je ne sais plus si j’ai crié. Je ne sais plus si j’ai pleuré. Je me souviens seulement de ce silence, de ce vide, de cette honte qui m’a engloutie. Pendant un an, je me suis cachée. Pendant un an, j’ai vécu en pyjama, à manger des pizzas surgelées, à regarder les mêmes séries en boucle. Pendant un an, j’ai cru que l’amour était une blague, que les hommes étaient des menteurs, que la vie ne valait pas la peine d’être vécue. Puis un jour, j’ai ouvert une enveloppe. Une invitation. Le gala du Domaine Kensington. Thomas y serait, avec sa femme, son enfant, son bonheur volé. J’ai décidé de me venger. J’ai décidé d’engager un gigolo. Je ne savais pas que ce gigolo était un milliardaire. Je ne savais pas qu’il avait lui-même signé un contrat, pour protéger son héritage, pour faire croire à son grand-père qu’il n’était pas seul. Je ne savais pas que ce mensonge allait durer des années, et que, dans les ruines de ce mensonge, allait naître quelque chose de plus fort que tout : l’amour. Ce livre raconte cette histoire. La nôtre. Celle d’un contrat, d’une clause absurde, d’une promesse brisée et…
