Everything.
Hayley Espel has been told her whole life that she will be marrying Julian Nicholson. Their parents started Espel and Nicholson Holdings, and their union will only strengthen the company.

Heartbroken, Hayley is ready to walk away.
But one moment is all it takes to dismantle Julian's and Hayley's perfect lives. Can Hayley and Julian's already frail marriage survive all that lies ahead of them?
