Rod only intended to marry off his nephew, not himself. Somehow, though, he kept imagining Layne in a bridal gown... with him as the groom. But the Corley family's past was filled with scandalous secrets, and Rod would never ask Layne to share the burden by becoming his wife. Even if they were falling in love....
