Reese

After six years of loving Julian Grayson and literally keeping him alive with her rare blood donations, Hazel Ashworth is just three days away from becoming his wife when he calls to cancel their wedding. 
The reason? Her half-sister Ivy has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and her dying wish is to marry Julian instead. Hazel watches in horror as Julian takes her handcrafted wedding dress to Ivy, who plans to wear it while stealing not just Hazel's fiancé, but her entire wedding—same venue, same date, even the same cake flavor. 
It's a devastating replay of their childhood, where Ivy's mother Eleanor destroyed Hazel's family by seducing her father and driving her mother to suicide, then spent years pushing Hazel out while Ivy took everything that was once hers. 
But this time, Hazel refuses to break like her mother did. She demands Julian's entire company and two million dollars as compensation, then shows up at the hospital to deliver Ivy's "wedding gift" in the most explosive way possible.
As Ivy plays the perfect dying victim and Julian remains blind to her manipulation, Hazel begins to suspect that her half-sister's illness might not be as terminal as everyone believes. When Ivy has the audacity to ask Hazel to witness her wedding to Julian, the gloves come off completely. 
Now Hazel must decide how far she's willing to go to expose the truth and reclaim what's rightfully hers, even if it means destroying the man she once loved in the process.

I felt my cheeks burning as Bianca's smug face stared back at me, clearly relishing my discomfort. The group around us fell awkwardly silent.


"You didn't miss anything about Julian," I managed to say calmly. "That was Damien Sterling's car, not that it's any of your business."


Bianca's perfectly sculpted eyebrows shot up. "Damien Sterling? Sure it was." Her tone dripped with disbelief. "Next you'll tell us you're dating him."


Clara squeezed my arm supportively. "Actually, Bianca, they arrived together. I saw them myself."


Bianca's smirk faltered for just a moment before she recovered. "Well, aren't you full of surprises, Hazel. I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for why Sterling would be seen with someone like you."


I bit back the sharp retort forming on my tongue. She wasn't worth it.


"We should head to the ceremony," I said to Clara, turning away from Bianca.
