Marrying the Man in the Dark
âI used to wear my heart like a banner, pride myself on how deeply I felt. But you know
what? All that emotion was like wearing rose-colored glasses, blinding me to my own
daughterâ¦â He looked at Damien, his face bare with remorse. âThank you for helping me
realize the harm I caused.â This man, who appeared to be in his fifties, spoke with such
sincerity that Damien couldnât help but smile. âCherry would be thrilled if she knew you
felt this way,â he said. âWhen she found out about last night, she was terrified you would

ready to accept me, your farm-raised daughter?â Beckham felt tears prick his own eyes.
âI⦠I neverâ¦â He wanted to say he never rejected her, but the words caught in his throat.
Since the DNA test five years ago, Cherise had been his daughter in his heart. But
somewhere, there was still a difference in how he treated her compared to Gwenn. âFrom
