Abandoned by her fiancé of two decades, Lyra discovers genuine devotion with the cousin she once bullied.
Lyra Moore and Caspian Thorne shared a childhood promise spanning twenty years until he left her stranded in a blizzard to pursue Aurelia. With nowhere to turn, Lyra sought out Gideon Thorne, the cousin whose youth she had made miserable yet who had never ceased shielding her. His patient, tender attention rewrote her understanding of love, standing in sharp contrast to the selfishness Caspian displayed when he later returned demanding another chance. Amid family pressures and buried secrets, Lyra chose Gideon, exchanging vows that bound them until death.
