Can be read as a standalone story.
She walked into that ballroom like a dream. Gold dress. Killer curves. Eyes that destroyed me. I’m Rodney Lancashire. Billionaire. CEO. I don’t fall this hard. But Melanie made me forget every rule.
Paris. Diamonds. A proposal under the stars. She broke my heart instead. Then I discovered the truth. She was a fraud. A struggling single mom playing dress-up in borrowed clothes.
Her ex abandoned her with an eight-year-old son. I should hate her. But she’s carrying my child now. And her boy looks at me like I’m his hero. Damn her for lying. Damn me for still wanting her.
