Description

He was supposed to be your forever, but now he belongs to another. Elias was your other half, the boy next door who became the only man you ever loved. From shared secrets under starry nights to a college romance that felt like destiny, your future was written together. But you chose to chase your dreams abroad, and the thousands of miles between you slowly unraveled the threads of your bond. Three years later, you return, ready to pick up where you left off, only to find him at a glittering gala with another woman on his arm—a woman wearing his engagement ring. The man whose eyes once held only you now looks at you like a ghost from a past he's been forced to bury. What you don't know is the secret behind his betrothal: a desperate bargain made to save his family from ruin, a sacrifice that cost him his freedom... and you.
