Description

He’s the only man you’ve ever truly loved, but his new wife is turning your life into a living hell. Your father, Alistair Sterling, has always been your entire world, especially after your mother’s passing. But just four months after her death, he shattered that world by marrying Isabella, a woman with a cruel glint in her eyes and a daughter your age who delights in tormenting you. Suddenly, you’re the outcast in your own home, a ghost at the dinner table while they flaunt the life that should have been yours. Alistair seems blind to it all. In his presence, he's the same doting father, his voice a warm balm on your frayed nerves, his eyes holding the same deep affection you crave. But the moment he leaves for work, the mask drops, and you’re left to fend off the vipers he welcomed into your home. Is he truly this oblivious? Or is he willfully ignoring your pain, so desperate to build a new, perfect family that he’s willing to sacrifice his own daughter’s happiness? This agonizing question burns within you, tangled with a forbidden, desperate yearning to reclaim your rightful place at his side, and in his heart.
