Sophia Carter loved Ethan Bennett with every fiber of her being. Married to him for five years, she initially believed his closeness to his adopted sister was nothing more than familial affection.
The first time he skipped their wedding anniversary for his sister’s birthday, she didn’t get angry.
The second time, when he ignored her after she suffered a miscarriage from a fall off a horse—choosing instead to rush his sister to the ER—she still held her tongue.
The third time…
The fourth time…
Until the ninety-ninth time, when he forced her, fresh from her own miscarriage, to kneel outside the operating room for his sister’s sake.
Only then did she finally see the truth: in his heart, she would never measure up to his sister—not even by a fraction.
"Let’s get a divorce, Ethan Bennett. This time, *I’m* the one leaving *you*."
After the mandatory 30-day cooling-off period, she flung the divorce papers in his face.
Two years later.
Ethan Bennett stood drenched in the pouring rain, pounding on Sophia’s front door.
"Sophia Carter, I’ve kicked Clara Fitzgerald out for good. From now on, you’re the only one who matters to me."

With a smirk, she tugged Lucas Wright—the infamous "Grim Reaper of the Wright Family"—closer and tilted her chin up. "Big bro, this pest won’t leave me alone. Mind helping me out?"
Lucas’s dark eyes gleamed with amusement. "How exactly? By telling him I’m your husband?"
