"Dad, when mom dies, can Aunt Chloe become my new mom?" "...Okay!" Serena Sinclair's heart shattered as she signed the divorce papers with trembling hands.

What he never anticipated was how easily Serena vanished after the mandatory waiting period concluded—leaving no hesitation, no backward glance.

Return to me, and everything will return to normal!" "Serena, Miles needs you. I need you. Please come home?" The call connected to a voice dripping with ice and amusement, "Adrian Lockwood, your audacity knows no bounds! ...If you cherish your life, keep away from my wife!" ... Wyatt Hawthorne dismissed the notion of destiny, until he understood the truth—fate had woven its snare around him long ago. The snare bore the enchanting name of Serena Sinclair.
