The Deal in a Wedding Dress
“Sign the papers, and don’t come back.”
Those were the last words Celeste heard from her cold, heartless husband—the man she was forced to marry in exchange for her family’s survival.
She thought it was just a deal: marry Killian Hart, play the role of the perfect wife, and disappear when the contract ended. But somewhere between the lonely nights and stolen glances, she made the mistake of falling for him... while he spent every waking moment with another woman.
Until the night she found out she was pregnant.
Shattered and humiliated, Celeste vanished without a trace, determined to raise their child alone—far away from the lies, betrayal, and the man who never wanted her in the first place.
But five years later, fate drags her back to the city she swore she’d never return to.
And this time, she’s not the helpless bride in a wedding dress.
This time, she’s stronger. Smarter. And she has a daughter who looks just like him.
But Killian Hart doesn’t do second chances—and when he sees the child she tried to hide, the ruthless CEO declares war.
“I let you go once. I won’t make the same mistake again.”
In a world full of secrets, enemies in disguise, and buried truths, can Celeste protect her child—and her heart—from the man who once broke it?
