Intro. Jake never believed in fate—only in control. In their small Southern town, control was everything. Control over business. Control over loyalty. Control over love. And Lily Carter had always been the one thing he could never quite own. So when she walked down the aisle in her mother’s pearls, marrying a man chosen for safety instead of passion, Jake Romano sat exactly where he said he wouldn’t be—front row, whiskey in hand, watching the girl who once whispered his name like a secret promise. She was drinking water at her wedding. And Jake knew why. Or at least… he thought he did.
