Stolen Vows

Five years ago, I stood at the altar in white, ready to vow myself to Ronan Vale. My protector, my obsession, my forever. Until a gunshot shattered my world.

I survived. But he left.

No explanations. No promises. Just a letter as cold as his silence, telling me we were done.

Now I'm walking down another aisle. This time to a man I despise. A man who threatens my family, who wears power like a weapon.

I swore Ronan was gone forever. I swore I'd never forgive him.

But on the day I'm meant to become someone else's bride... Ronan comes back.

He stole me once with love. Now he'll steal me again with fire.

He says I'm his. He says he'll burn the world before he lets me go again.

And the worst part?

I should hate every second of being in his house again. But my heart remembers what my pride refuses to. And that terrifies me more than Ronan Vale ever could.
