Never Cross Again

Julian Hart was my guardian, my savior, and the only man I ever wanted—until the night he shattered my world by proposing to someone else. For years, I played the role of the dutiful ward while he used "family" as a weapon to keep me at a distance, punishing me for a love he labeled a mistake. But now that I’ve finally returned with a new life and a man who truly treasures me, the "Uncle" who once cold-heartedly rejected me is suddenly desperate to reclaim me. As Julian’s gilded life begins to unravel, he is prepared to offer a sacrifice I never saw coming—but is he seeking my forgiveness, or is he about to destroy my last chance at happiness?
