DEDICATION
To those who have loved and lost,
To the ones who search for what once was,
And to the hearts that still ache but dare to love again.
For the hearts that ache, the souls that search, and those
who find love where they least expect it.

Emma Sterling, the owner and founder of Asher Company and a multi-millionaire, believed love was something she would never experience again after losing her brother. That was until a man came into her life, showing her she was not only capable of love but also truly deserving of it. She loved him for who he was and for always being there for her. She loved him—and then she lost him. Until one day, she met him again in the most unexpected way possible—he was engaged to her stepsister. A sister and a family she never had when she needed them. A family that always made her feel unlovable. A family that abandoned her when she needed them the most. Landon Ashford, CEO of Ashford Company and owner of multiple businesses, was once a carefree man—until he fell in love with the grumpiest person he’d ever met, Emma. After she left him, he searched for her endlessly—his only love. He never expected to find her again years later, only to discover she was his fiancée’s sister. But now that she was back in his life, he would do anything to make her his again.
To those who have loved and lost,
To the ones who search for what once was,
And to the hearts that still ache but dare to love again.
For the hearts that ache, the souls that search, and those
who find love where they least expect it.
