On her wedding day, Lily Page was forcibly taken as the wife of Ethan Hale, the ruler of Riverhold. He lavished her with every luxury and affection—yet she wouldn't even spare him a glance. To provoke her, Ethan brought in Vivian Reed, a woman who looked strikingly like her. But Vivian went too far, nearly torturing Lily to death. Ethan hunted down and destroyed them all, but by then, Lily was already gone—she had faked her own death to escape. Years later, when they met again, all he asked for was one glance from her.
