I secretly married two men. Then one accident stole them both from me.
Creed Lafontaine was my best friend, a hockey star who knew every piece of me. Halston Saint Claire was an old-money heir whose powerful family never wanted me near him.
I loved them both. They loved me—and each other. So we made our own vows.
I woke up alone. Creed was gone. Halston was behind his family's money and lawyers. Everyone insisted the rings, the vows, the three of us never existed.
So I did what broken girls with color-coded calendars and trust issues do best.
I survived.
Ten years later, a file lands on my desk in Florence with my signature forged at the bottom. And Halston's, dated yesterday.
Halston isn't hiding. He's being held. Nine years under his family's conservatorship, built on a lie about the night of the crash.
Creed remembers everything. Halston remembers in fragments. And I remember enough to know our love wasn't the lie—it was the thing they had to erase.
Because the marriage they buried is the only thing on earth that can unlock his cage.
In the Saint Claire world, love was never the most dangerous thing.
It was the lies we played to survive it.
