You've read Alyssa's side of the story in The Tie That Binds. Now it's Daniel's turn.

I thought I could stay away from her.

I thought wrong.

What was I supposed to do when I found out that Charles Moriani's last wish was for me to marry his only daughter? I owed the man everything - he taught me all I know and took on the role my late father was unable to fulfil, never asking for anything in return.

Until now.

The choice was easy to make. Too easy, perhaps.

I tried to make myself believe I married her for honourable reasons, but nothing could be further from the truth. Alyssa was never meant to find out how I feel about her. She was never meant to end up in my bed. And she was definitely never meant to love me back.
