Summary

Ariel Walker marries Jayson Larkin to save her adoptive brother. For three years, their marriage is kept a loveless, passionate secret.

When her adoptive brother is released from prison, he announced that the woman in his arms is the love of his life!

She pucks up the pieces of her dream and goes from being a scorned housewife to a technological expert! One day, her secret identity and terminal illness are exposed. Her unruly adoptive brother comes to her with red-rimmed eyes. "Ari, can you call me your brother again?" The usually cold, ruthless Jayson goes insane. "I'll give you my life to make up for what I've done, honey! Don't leave me.." Their love is too little, too late. Ariel has long since stopped caring...
