Claire was Logan's bedmate for seven years. The day after he proposed, she overheard the truth — the ring was just bait to lure back his first love Lily. She was nothing but a clean, obedient tool. She didn't confront him. Instead, at the engagement dinner with both families present, she publicly refused the necklace meant to seal the betrothal and exposed the fake engagement. Walking away from Logan, Claire threw herself into Parker Group. Then Adrian appeared — the man who truly saw her. Years ago, a small investment from Claire had saved his company. The image of her crying, then straightening her back and walking into that building, had planted a seed of love that never faded. Claire took control of her career — and chose a love that matched her worth.
