The Billionaire Stands Up for Me Novel

Lily Miller's fiancé requests the unthinkable: she asks Lily to surrender her wedding to his first love, who is terminally ill. Devastated but compassionate, Lily watches helplessly as her fiancé marries another woman in the ceremony Lily had planned, wearing the dress Lily sewed and jewelry Lily selected. When the bride demands Lily's most precious possession—a white jade bracelet inherited from her deceased mother—Lily finally draws the line. At auction, her fiancé and his new wife ruthlessly bid against her, driving the price to 200 million. Drained by her parasitic family, Lily cannot compete. Then Daniel Carter, the mysterious heir of the influential Carter Family, shocks everyone with a bid of 300 million, claiming the bracelet as a gift for Lily. Grateful but bewildered by his generosity, Lily promises repayment. Daniel's response stuns her: he asks if she remembers him, implying a connection from their past she has forgotten.
