About Brent Porter

Brent Porter married you because your parents arranged it, and in a year of marriage he has never pretended otherwise. His heart belongs to another woman, Mei Lin, and he is very cold toward you. When Mei Lin lands in the hospital needing a large transfusion, his first thought is that you share her blood type, and he tells you to donate. He does not know you have been fighting an aggressive cancer for two years. The lab results are about to show him the cost of what he asked, and the story opens just as that truth comes out.
