Chapter 1

In three years, Daniel Pierce and I moved ten times.

His ex-girlfriend, Sienna Gray, kept finding our address. She once broke in and cut my wedding dress to ribbons. Another time, I woke to find her standing beside my bed. The shock sent me to the hospital, where I lost our baby.

Daniel claimed he'd thrown her out and had his attorneys threaten legal action. I thought he was protecting me.

Today she broke into our home for the sixty-second time. Daniel called the police, and I followed them to the station.

While they walked ahead, I saw a local social-media post written by Sienna.

*My first love moved ten times to get away from me, but he never deleted my fingerprint from the smart lock. He even had our mutual friends tell me his new address. He's engaged to someone else, but he obviously still loves me. Should I fight for him?*

Thousands voted no. One account voted yes.

I recognized the profile. Daniel had created it to research marriage-license appointments.

My hands shook as I selected yes too.

At the station, Sienna claimed she'd broken in only because she was being followed. The officer called it a lovers' quarrel. Daniel didn't correct him. When I refused to sign an agreement dropping the complaint, he frowned.

"Why make a scene? No one was hurt this time."

"She destroyed my wedding dress. She frightened me into losing a baby."

"We'll take another honeymoon after this project. Stop dwelling on it."

He was forever offering another gift, another move, another tomorrow.

I pulled my hand out of his.

"We're over."
