Raven Du Pont has spent most of her life living in her older sister's shadow, including watching Hannah become engaged to the man Raven has secretly loved since she was a teenager. But when Hannah backs out of her wedding to billionaire media mogul Ares Windsor, the Windsor matriarch refuses to tolerate another postponement. The solution? Return to the family's original arrangement and have Ares marry Raven instead. Neither of them wants to be forced into a marriage, but once the vows are exchanged, Raven refuses to spend three years being treated like a replacement for her sister. What begins as an unwanted arrangement quickly becomes much more complicated as buried feelings surface, family secrets unravel, and Hannah decides she isn't quite ready to let Ares go after all.Show Less
