Lacy Knighton had not reacted well to Aaron's little speech in the parking garage. How dare he call her pathetic! How dare he think that he could abandon his place in the world! What could possibly be more important than ruling high society?
Graydon had been right. Aaron had absolutely no intention of remaining a part of their social circle. Why? Why had he changed his mind?
A simple person with simple needs? Ha! Alistair Hale would kill him if he heard such nonsense come out of his mouth. He could never be simple; he was a Hale.
Bethany Carlisle would not be pleased by her fiancé leaving high society. No society girl would. She would dump him in a heartbeat if she knew his true intentions.
Lacy had to admit, there would be absolutely no point in marrying Aaron Hale if he wasn't a part of high society. But she had come this far; she couldn't back down now! Once they were married, she would force him into submission.
