She Looked Like My Dead First Love Until I Learned Why

As the eldest heir of the Sheridan family, Liam Sheridan has spent three years as Stella Watson's personal secretary, taking a knife wound and testing poison for her while the city's elite mock him as her lapdog. He endures it because Stella's face belongs to Suzy York, the half-sister he loved and lost. Stella, in turn, has eyes only for his half-brother, Skyler Lawson.

When a kidnapper demands Skyler's release, Stella trades Liam for him without hesitation, then orders the sniper to fire while the knife is still at Liam's throat. It is the ninety-ninth time she breaks his heart, and he resolves to leave. He visits Suzy's grave, then returns to the villa to resign, only to find Stella murmuring Skyler's name and pressing her wedding invitation into his hand.

At breakfast she offers him the beef pies that once blistered his mouth, and when he retches, she accuses him of staging it to upset her. Liam reminds himself that Stella is not Suzy, and Suzy is dead.
