Dr. Indiana "Indie" Miller never believed in fairy tales. How could she? Everything she accomplished was paid for with blood, sweat, and tears. Emancipated at sixteen, she attended medical school while juggling three jobs-and now she's completing her oncology residency. She never allowed herself the hope of being someone's first choice. Until her favorite patient introduces her to her grandson. Teddy Williams is everything she never dared to dream of. He's kind, steady, and completely devoted to her. Two years later, deeply in love and on the verge of an engagement, they're preparing to move across the country for Indie's dream job. Then Nana Ellie passes away. Without the woman who adored Indie there to shield her, Teddy's overbearing family begins crossing boundaries, convinced Indie isn't the right woman for him. But his childhood best friend-and ex-girlfriend-Lily? She's perfect. They grew up together. Their mothers are best friends. To everyone else, it looks like the perfect second-chance love story. But Indie is in the way, and the family does whatever it takes to make sure that she feels unwelcome. As the pressure builds and the disrespect becomes impossible to ignore, Teddy finds himself caught between the family he was raised to put first... and the woman he loves more than anything. He chooses wrong. And he loses Indie. Quickly, he realizes his mistake and discovers just how deep his family machinations go. Will it be too late to prove to Indie that she is his one and only choice? Because Indie Miller is done waiting for a fairy tale. This time, she's going to make one for herself.

She loved him from the moment they met. He spent years denying what he felt-until the tide pulled them under together. From the moment Iris Cunningham met Samuel Akin, the brilliant, quietly intense computer savant who happened to be her best friend's cousin, she fell irrevocably in love. What began as an instant spark deepened into four years of longing-years where Iris hid her heartbreak behind bright smiles and careful silence. Because Samuel didn't want her. Or so she believed. But she never knew how violently he felt the pull. Every time Samuel was near Iris, a flood of emotion crashed through him-want, fear, hope, devastation. He craved her. He feared her. He feared himself even more. Iris unraveled him in ways he didn't understand, dragging the foundation of his carefully controlled world out to sea. By the time he faced the truth, it was almost too late. Their lives entwine in ways neither could foresee-first through an alliance born of trust. Then their relationship graduates to a passion, love, and marriage that survives their sworn existence-a responsibility built on secrets a rare few ever glimpse. The life they choose demands half-truths and selective silence. Honor and duty test the threads binding them daily. And while Iris and Samuel can alternately delight, infuriate, and challenge each other in equal measure, one core disagreement opens a fracture neither of them anticipated. Accusations of betrayal begin to swirl and the tides around them rise with crushing force. Iris and Samuel face the hardest challenge of their marriage.
