Alice Long and I were caught in the crossfire. When my boyfriend—a combat medic responsible for saving the wounded—came to our rescue, he pushed me aside. Gently cradling Alice, the girl I had shielded, he shot me a cold glance and said, "Crystal, I'm deeply disappointed in you. She needs immediate care to avoid infection!" What about me? Was I meant to die instead? When my flag-draped coffin arrived home, he had the nerve to weep openly at my memorial. This once-renowned combat medic, celebrated around the globe, never set foot outside his room again.

To make up for past regrets with his first love, my husband, Pierce Ronan, lied that he could see everyone’s lifespan. He told me I had sixty years left, but his first love, Jessica Stone, had only seven days to live. So, for those seven days, he said he had to fulfill the promises of their youth. He brought her home, cared for her, and when they went back to their old college campus to relive their love, I didn’t protest. When he confessed his love to her and planned the wedding of the century, asking me to be the bridesmaid, I didn’t raise my voice. It wasn’t until he wanted to break the final taboo — in our marital bedroom — that he looked at me with guilt in his eyes and begged me to move out. The housemaids watched, snickering behind their hands, but I only smiled and nodded in agreement. I packed my bags, carried our child, and moved into the guest room next door. Seeing how obedient I remained, Pierce was touched. “I promise, this will be the last time I wrong you. Once Jessica passes, I’ll make it up to you.” What he didn’t know was that I had already seen through his lies. What he also didn’t know was that the one truly dying of cancer, the one with only seven days left to live, was me. Three days remained. Then, I would be gone.

Tessa Anderson has endured two years of a marriage that feels more like a sentence than a vow. Her husband, Raymond Anderson, the powerful CEO everyone admires has never hidden his contempt for her or his infatuation with Danielle Greene, a glamorous model who thrives on Tessa’s humiliation. Once naïve enough to mistake his coldness for strength, Tessa is no longer willing to play the role of the discarded wife. Divorce, she believes, is her only salvation. But Raymond has other plans. When she serves him papers, he doesn’t sign, he laughs. Yet the determination in her eyes shocks him in a way nothing else ever has. Desperate to keep her bound, he strikes a cruel bargain: if she can win the approval of his ruthless mother and the blessing of his grandmother, the architect of their marriage, he will grant her freedom. If she fails, she belongs to him. The challenge is nearly impossible. Tessa faces humiliation, betrayal, and a public collapse that leaves her abandoned in the rain. An accident soon after nearly costs her everything, and when she wakes in the hospital, it is Derrick, Raymond’s best friend by her side, not her husband. That night, the love she once had for Raymond dies. But for Raymond, it is only the beginning. The thought of losing her shook him to the core. He begins to fight for her in ways he never has, even as his love twists into jealousy and obsession. When Raymond finally drops the mask—revealing the man beneath the arrogance, the man terrified of losing her, Tessa is forced to ask herself the question she swore she’d buried: Can love truly be reborn in the depth of hate, or is his devotion just another chain designed to keep her bound?
