When the Stars Fell into Dust

Everyone said Adrian Cole was destined to become the prized son-in-law of the Lane family. He took on the most dangerous mission just to marry Lila Lane, and she turned down every suitor and waited five years for his return. When he finally came back, he walked in holding another woman, Stella Ray, and knelt before her father, declaring Stella the only woman he wanted to marry—and that she was pregnant.

Adrian had lost his memory. He remembered her father and her six brothers, but not Lila, the woman he had once pursued and promised to wed. Stella, it turns out, is the very woman Lila once saved from despair. As her father raises a gun and her brothers plead, Lila pushes the weapon aside, congratulates her sister-in-law, and walks away.

Then she pulls out a business card and chooses a marriage alliance with Lucas Vaughn. On her wedding day, Adrian suddenly remembers everything—and aims a gun at Lucas's forehead, begging her not to marry him.
