About this book

The narrator has harbored hatred for Cavin McCarthy since childhood, when he bullied her in school and made her life miserable. Now they are engaged in an arranged marriage orchestrated by their families, who are involved in organized crime. She would refuse the arrangement, but the McCarthy family controls access to medical treatment her dying sister needs. She agrees to marry him despite her resentment. However, the man Cavin has become differs from the cruel boy she remembers. Instead of the tormentor of her past, he now protects and fights for her. His treatment of her challenges her resolve to remain unforgiving, and she finds herself drawn to him in ways that shift her focus from revenge to surrender.
