“She has the guts?” Liam snorted when he heard Izzy’s words. “Forcing someone into marriage. She must be desperate to

“That wasn’t a compliment and…” Izzy’s lips pressed into a thin line. “You can’t fool me. I know you have your fingers in a lot of pies. It wouldn’t surprise me if you were somehow involved.”

He paused, giving her a knowing glance. “But you’re right about Cecil. With her family’s reputation on shaky ground, she’s desperate to secure Calen’s future. And now you’re a key
