The McCarthy Family Legacy

I've hated Cavin McCarthy since the day he made me cry in a school closet. He was my tormentor. My nightmare. The cruel boy who turned my name into a punchline and my life into hell. Now? He's my fiancé. An arranged marriage neither of us wanted, brokered by families who deal in blood and power. I'd refuse if I could. But my sister is dying, and the McCarthy's hold the key to saving her life. So I'll walk down the aisle. I'll say the vows. I'll become Mrs. Cavin McCarthy. But I'll never forgive him.

I've been watching her for six years. Bianca White is sunshine and innocence. I'm the monster they whisper about in the dark. And she hates me, for good reason. I told myself I'd stay away. That I'd keep my distance and just make sure she was safe. But on the night of her college graduation, I have no choice. So I take her. I cage my little bird in the woods where no one can touch her. Where no one can take her from me.

He has a fiancée. But I’m carrying his secret. I’ve been in love with Declan McCarthy for years. He’s dangerous. Forbidden. Already promised to another woman. Every instinct told me to run the night he kissed me. I stayed anyway. Now I’m carrying his baby and he doesn’t know it. Declan’s sense of duty keeps him blind to the one person who’s loved him all along. I’ve spent years pining for a man who can't chose me. Except now I can't hide this secret anymore.
