Summary

Description:
Sophie Carter has loved Ethan for five years. So when his dying ex-girlfriend reappears begging for one final wedding, Sophie agrees to give him a single month to grant the wish.

She tells herself she can survive thirty days.

What Ethan doesn't know is that Sophie is dying too — stage three, no family, no one waiting at home. While he plays husband to another woman, Sophie quietly faces her own diagnosis alone. And when Ethan's "harmless" ex turns out to be far more dangerous than anyone realized, Sophie discovers that the man who once promised her forever has been the most selfish love of her life.

But maybe — just maybe — the right man has been beside her all along.

A devastating tale of betrayal, hidden love, and one woman's quiet reckoning with the family she never had.

    She's running from London's marriage mart. He's running out of time to save his estate. Neither intends to fall in love--but their hearts have other plans. 
     
    American heiress Calliope Hart is thrust into London's high society against her will, all because her mother is determined to marry her off to an aristocrat. Despite being named "the debutante of the season" back in New York, Calliope wants nothing more than to avoid becoming another pawn in the social game. 
     
    Edward Chase, the Earl of Hayward, is on the brink of financial ruin. To save his estate, he must marry, and Calliope Hart is his last hope. When he boldly declares his intentions, she swiftly rejects him, making it clear she has no interest in marrying for convenience. Undeterred, Edward offers a deal: He will escort Calliope to all the best sights of London that she's been dying to see if she agrees to visit his estate and consider what they could accomplish together. 
     
    What begins as a business arrangement soon sparks something much more complicated--an undeniable chemistry neither can ignore. But as their hearts begin to soften, both must confront their fears: Can Calliope trust Edward with her heart, and can Edward truly win her love when she's convinced he only wants her fortune?

    Then a car accident gave her one terrifying, clarifying moment: she did not want to die. She had not yet lived.
