The grand ballroom of the Blackwell Estate fell into a hushed stillness as the music swelled. Golden lights shimmered above, ivory and gold flowers lined the aisle, and a crowd dressed in designer gowns and tailored tuxedos murmured with anticipation. All eyes turned to the bride making her entrance.

Not to a royal or a longtime sweetheart, but to the stunning model Sabrina Monroe, whose past was a mystery. They had met only eight months earlier at a charity gala. Soon after, Nathaniel shocked everyone: he announced their engagement and that Sabrina was expecting.
