Synopsis
What happens when the man you love is real… but the world only knows his mask? Greer Hammond doesn’t believe in fairytales—especially not the kind where your brother’s best friend breaks your heart and disappears for eight years. So when she runs into Ryder Gray—now a world-famous Formula One legend—at her brother’s Vegas wedding, she plans to keep her distance. Ryder has other plans. A fake relationship. A generous payoff. A temporary solution to a PR nightmare. Except Ryder was never pretending. One impulsive Caribbean wedding later, Greer is his wife—hidden from the world, waiting for the right moment. Then everything crashes. A career-ending accident. A man who loses his sight—and the life he built around it. A marriage tested by grief, silence, and devastating misunderstandings. Greer stays. Even when Ryder pushes her away. Even when loving him means losing herself in a world that was never built for her. And when Ryder finally gets his life back, Greer is left wondering where she fits in his world—or if there was ever room for her at all . She was there when he lost everything. Now he has to decide if love can survive when the spotlight comes back on
