Waiting for Wind and Rain, Not You

Summary

I was the orphan Alistair Blackwood rescued from St. Jude's Home.

For eight years, I was his daughter in name.

In my last life, I drowned in his gentle care, mistaking inappropriate kindness for love.

So when he brought Isabelle Thorne home and announced their engagement, I shattered. My hysterical accusations scandalized New York society.

All I got was a cold dismissal—I was childish. He had me committed to a psychiatric hospital, where electroshock treatments killed me.

The day after I died, he gave Isabelle the wedding of the decade.
