"The first thing my new husband whispered at the altar wasn't a promise of love, but a warning to smile because my brother was watching. When Roman Caruso finally led me to our bedroom and forced me to take off my wedding gown, his expression turned from cruel to deadly as he saw the brutal scars Grant had left on my back.
