There's a version of this story where I never come down those stairs. Where I stay in the guest room in my borrowed emerald dress, and Grant Kane never offers me his arm, and none of what happened next has the chance to happen at all.
That isn't the version I lived.
I know exactly when it started — not the storm, not the night everyone will eventually blame. It started years before that, in a kitchen, with a mug of black coffee a man who wasn't my husband remembered I liked. I just didn't let myself call it what it was until it was far too late to call it anything else.
Weston gave me his ring and an empty side of the bed. Grant gave me the one thing four years of marriage never did — the feeling of being truly seen. And when the storm finally trapped us together with nowhere left to hide from each other, neither of us chose to fight it anymore.
Now there's a child on the way who will inherit the Kane name, the Kane eyes, and a secret that's about to detonate everything this family has spent generations protecting. Weston's mother is asking questions I can't answer forever. The scandal is coming, whether I'm ready or not.
And Grant — the man I was never supposed to want — has made his choice. The only question left is whether I'm brave enough to make mine.
This isn't a story about falling for the wrong man. It's about finally telling the truth about the right one — no matter what it costs.
