He loved one woman enough to defy his world. He married another to survive it. Alex Davenport was born into legacy and old money.
But none of that mattered when he met Emily, the girl from the wrong side of town. Against his family's disapproval, Alex married her the day they turned nineteen. For years, they built a life of their own until tragedy struck and she died in a car accident.
Two years later, broken and unreachable, Alex agrees to a marriage he doesn't want.
Isabelle is elegance, control, everything Emily wasn't. She's also not afraid of the wreckage he's become. He believes she's a spoiled model and socialite but is there more under those designer dresses?
She didn't choose him either... but she's not leaving. But ghosts don't stay buried. And the deeper Alex falls, the louder Emily's memory whispers.
What happens when your heart is still tethered to the past... but starts beating for someone new?
