The Heart He Broke

Adrian Vale approached the innocent painter Lucy Laurent because of a misunderstanding over his sister's death. Pretending to be gentle, he set out to get revenge. Lucy gave him her whole heart, even cutting ties with her family to stand by him through hardship. When she learned the truth, she was shattered — and left to heal far away. Years later, Adrian uncovered the truth and was consumed by guilt. He wanted to make amends. But Lucy had already moved on — she had met Ryan Carter. Hatred only imprisons yourself. Love given to the wrong person cannot be reclaimed. Only by letting go of the past can you find equal and lasting happiness.
