I married a girl who lived like me—scrimped, shared hand-me-downs, and whispered promises of a future we could build together. Three years in, I discover a tabloid photo of my wife handing a Rolls-Royce to a movie star on his birthday. The woman in the side profile has the same mole behind her ear. The woman who patched my socks. The woman who made me hand over my bank card. Caleb Hahn is done being kind. He follows her into a world of chandeliers and private rooms and sees the truth: his supposed “orphan” wife, Silvia Hansen, is the golden daughter of Hansen Industries—glittering, cruel, and using him as a pawn to punish an old lover. He leaves. He swears off being bought. Then his mother needs an emergency operation. Silvia offers five figures for his silence. He refuses. Katalina Curry, a quiet, stubborn designer and old-classmate, shows up with the money and a promise: “Let me keep you.” Together they build a studio, a future, and a life built on honesty. When Silvia’s palace of privilege collapses, who will be left standing? This is a story about betrayal, choices, and the gravity of real love—about learning that the worth of a man isn’t set by the bank balance in his account, and that being strong doesn’t mean you never bend; it means you can stand back up. A contemporary, emotional romance about two men—one the clean-hearted everyman, the other a celebrity—and two women—one who plays at love, and one who proves it.
