Childfree Marriage Shattered by His Hidden Vasectomy

Nathan Turner disliked children and insisted on a childless marriage. On their third anniversary, Catherine found his sterilization report—and the four-year-old twins he had kept outside their marriage. When she demanded a divorce, Nathan refused to give up Victoria Cross or their son, offering only to keep the children out of her sight. Her father and mother-in-law pressed her to tolerate the scandal for the family's sake, warning that her younger brother Samuel's future hung in the balance.

At the launch of Charles Turner's new energy project, Victoria appeared among Crestville's elite, and Nathan placed the child in Catherine's arms. The boy's name was Nolan Turner—the very name Nathan had once promised to their own future child. Then the baby fell, and Victoria accused Catherine of throwing him.

Bound by family duty and a brother she must protect, Catherine faces a marriage built on betrayal and a name that was never hers to keep.
