Claire Reed thought she had married the man of her dreams, Evander Kensington, but she had no idea that their marriage was built on a lie; a family vow that trapped him by her side. His heart, however, belonged to another woman, far away. No matter how hard Claire tried to win Evander’s love, he only grew colder, and his family treated her like she didn’t exist. When she lost their unborn child, Claire’s world shattered. She couldn’t bear it anymore and walked away, leaving behind a letter and divorce papers, claiming she now had someone else she loved! ===== Evander’s cold lips crashed onto Claire’s. “You’re mine, and I’ll never let you go!” he vowed, his voice dark with possessiveness. “But I don’t want you anymore! You can have Susan—I’ll find peace on my own!” Claire shot back, her words sharp and final.
