Description

He's at the altar about to marry your ex-best friend, but his desperate eyes are locked on you. For five years, Alec Sterling was yours—your sanctuary, your future, your love. As the formidable CEO of Sterling Industries, he commanded boardrooms with an icy resolve, but with you, he was just Alec. Now, he's a pawn in a corporate merger, forced into an arranged marriage with a woman who has always coveted your life. Trapped between his duty to a powerful family dynasty and his unwavering devotion to you, Alec is on the verge of breaking. You're sitting in the back of the church, a secret witness to your own heartbreak, watching the man you love being sacrificed for a business deal. The question hangs heavy in the air, thick with the scent of lilies and despair: Is your love a force strong enough to defy an empire, or will you watch him say 'I do' to your worst nightmare?
