On her wedding day, Aria Bennett believes she is marrying Dylan, the man she has loved for years — until the betrayal is played out on a giant screen for two hundred guests to see: her fiancé and her own sister. Humiliated and cornered, she turns and seizes the most dangerous man in the room — Damian, Dylan's wheelchair-bound billionaire brother and the true head of the Cross empire — and marries him on the spot. What she thinks is a cold-blooded revenge deal hides a deeper truth: Damian has quietly protected her for seven years, saving her bakery, shielding her from his stepmother's schemes, and learning of her fiancé's affair before she ever did. Beneath the wheelchair lies the secret that he can walk; behind the wedding lies a seven-year-old car-crash conspiracy. As the contract leaks, the family turns on them, and the truth of her pregnancy surfaces, Aria must rise from a discarded bride into a woman bold enough to storm a boardroom and expose the truth herself — because in the rain, applause and grief sound the same.
