Grace Blackwood had never been wanted.
Not by her father, who barely looked at her without seeing the daughter he lost. Not by the people who whispered behind her back and blamed her for a death she could never undo. And not by Marco DeLuca who was the only man she had ever loved.
For years, she stood by his side and waited for the day he would finally see her. The day he would choose her, want her, love her. But it never came.
And when she finally found the courage to lay her heart at his feet, he crushed it without hesitation, leaving the words that shattered whatever was left of her..
"You disgust me."
So she let go and buried her love, silenced her heart, and erased him from her life. Marco DeLuca ceased to exist in her world, and she carried on as if he had never mattered. As if she had never spent years loving him.
And when she began to feel far from his reach, Marco realizes that he had made the biggest mistake of his life as another man sweeps in and claims the love he once ignored.
