She lost everything once... and she's about to lose the only person she has left. After the tragic death of their parents, Carquirelle devoted her life to protecting her younger sister. She sacrificed her dreams, poured every ounce of herself into running a business by day and writing novels by night, believing that all her hard work would someday give them the life they deserved. But fate had other plans. A devastating accident leaves her sister clinging to life, and every door to hope begins to close. With nothing left to bargain except herself, Carquirelle is driven to make the most dangerous choice of her life. Then he appears. A mysterious doctor with an unnervingly calm smile... and eyes that seem to hide the darkness of hell itself. "I will give her a chance to live... but there is one condition." He tilts her chin, his voice dangerously soft. "Be my bride." *** [UNDER REVISION]
