Willow lost her mother before she could even remember her or get to know her. It was just her dad and her brothers along with her. She started to see a lady riding a horse down by the lake but no one else but her ex Ethan could see the woman so everyone called her crazy. Is she really going crazy or was it someone trying to warn her of incoming danger?

Chapter 1 Willow

Prologue

Willow was out riding on her family ranch one day just wanting to be alone. She often came out this way to think. Being the only girl in a family full of men was hard. She never knew her mother because she died giving birth to her.

She always felt her dad didn't love her because of it. Her father once told her that her mother would always ride out to the lake. So, Willow found this was also her favorite place to ride. It made her feel close to her mother. The lake was peaceful, but to others it was nothing special.

One day when she was really upset, she saw a beautiful woman riding a horse. The horse was the most beautiful she had ever seen. The woman looked familiar, but who was she? When Willow said something to the woman she took off.

She tried going after her, but it was if the woman had vanished. There wasn't another ranch for miles around. So where did she come from, and who was she?

The next day Willow went to the lake hoping to see the mystery woman again. She wondered if anyone else had seen her. When she asked her brothers, they all said she was crazy. They said she was just imaging stuff and losing her mind. Was she just imagining the woman?

Could she be losing it as her brothers had said? She wondered if she would ever see the mystery woman again. All she could think about was that woman, and her horse. She was scared to go back to the lake in fear it was just her imagination. She needed to see her again. To find out why she felt so connected to this shadow rider....

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."
