I Faked the Affair to Set Him Free

Eight years ago, Marisol Delacroix let the boy she loved believe she had betrayed him. She had just been handed a terminal diagnosis, and his mother knelt at her hospital bed and begged her to set him free so he could chase his future abroad. So Marisol staged an affair, made Dominic Chase hate her, and drove him across an ocean without ever letting the mask slip. Now she is dying, and Dominic has come home. He is engaged to a poised, smiling woman named Priya, and he wants Marisol, of all people, to help plan his wedding. He does not know she is sick. He does not know why she left. He only knows the story his mother told him, and he has hated her for it every single day. Marisol has one wish left: to be near him one more time before the end. But Priya has a wish of her own, and a fall on a restaurant floor, a hand pressed to a belly, and a single scream are all it takes to turn Dominic's hatred into something far worse. By the time the truth surfaces at a wedding toast, it may already be too late for everyone. A story about the love that gets buried by a lie, and the man left to dig for it once the woman who kept it is gone.
