“I was the luckiest woman in New York, with three devoted, successful men catering to my every whim. Then, they left me. All three of them, for the same woman-a self-made CEO who was everything I wasn't. They called me a spoiled brat, a user, a burden. When I ran to them, broken and bleeding after a fall, they pushed me away. One of them even put his hands on my throat, his eyes filled with a hatred I' d never seen, all while the others watched. Their disgust was a physical blow, shattering the last piece of my heart. I was nothing to them anymore, just a mistake they were desperate to erase. So, in my darkest moment, I made a choice. I ran to my father and demanded he arrange my marriage to the one man our circle feared-a reclusive Scottish heir they called the "Sea Lord." It was a life sentence, but it was also my only escape.”
