Brittany was such a lucky girl at 18 years old, she had loving parents, and a cute best friend she was harbouring feelings for when something happened, she got acquainted with Lucas the son of her mother’s employer. Naive, they became friends and had unprotected sex and Brittany had to have an abortion since Lucas's father and family members threatened to harm her if she proceeded with the pregnancy. This left Lucas, who is now 30, to join the Marines after obtaining a law degree as well as running away from a dominating father. In the military, he suffers a traumatic event which leaves him with PTSD, then has to go back to his father’s business where he is pressured to marry and produce an heir.

They have to unmask Lucas’s cunning stepmother and demanding father to regain the title they both deserve and rediscover the bond they lost long ago.

A Fragile Reunion

…there was no need to open the can of worms that would destroy my life again. This time, I fear I will never recover.

A story had been playing in my head since Lucas left for college. We were not lovers and certainly didn't think we were each other's soul mate but the physical distance between us hurt. It wasn't like we saw each other every day before he left but we spent a substantial amount of time together.

Sometimes, I would stare at a boy too much because his hair looked like Lucas's. Other times, I played our conversations in my head but every time, I wished we could be together once more. I would like to see him smiling at me with a lift of his lips, that half-grin did something to me.
