Josie will have to decide if the man who once asked her to dance beneath the stars deserved a second chance to heal her shattered heart.

Clara My heart has belonged to Spencer Fisher since that day in high school, when he winked at me during Mrs. Doyle's chemistry class. For twelve years we've been together through the good, the bad, and everything in between. For twelve years I've stood by him and supported him and watched him as he realized every single one of his dreams. But when Spencer's father is diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and he starts pulling away right when I need him most, we might have finally found the one thing that will tear us apart. Spencer I thought I had it made. But now I'm feeling it all slip away as the pressures of work and bills and hard decisions mount. And above all else, I have to watch my old man slowly wither away. I'm not used to feeling helpless, and now all I can do is watch the man who has always been larger than life to me die. I know Clara's doing her best to support me, but lately it feels like all I do is let her down. When my colleague introduces me to his sister Laney, it feels harmless at first. Laney listens without making demands. She's sympathetic. She reminds me to take care of myself. If she flirts occasionally and I find myself enjoying it? Well, that's probably harmless too. It's not like I'd ever act on anything. I'd never betray Clara. But the road to hell is paved with bad decisions, and by the time I realize what a fool I'm being, I might be too late to stop myself from losing the woman I love.

He called her his. His ol' lady. His wife. Property of Clutch. Rebecca "Bex" Pierce never belonged to anyone. She chose him. She stood beside him. She wore his patch with pride. Until the night he chose wrong. When a lie tears through the Dawnbreakers MC, loyalty turns toxic and pride turns cruel. In front of his brothers, in front of the clubhouse, Clutch does the one thing Bex never thought he would. He doesn't hit her. He doesn't cheat. He just doesn't believe her. And if he doesn't believe her? Then the patch means nothing. So she takes it off herself. Throws it at his feet. And walks away from the only life she's ever known. No protection. No club. No husband. The fallout fractures the Dawnbreakers from the inside out. Secrets unravel. Brothers fall. The club reforms. But the woman he lost? She isn't waiting to be claimed again. If Clutch wants his wife back, he won't just have to apologize. He'll have to rebuild everything he broke. Publicly. Relentlessly. Without expecting forgiveness. Because this time, she isn't property of anyone. Not even him. This story was born inside the Grovel & Betrayal Facebook group during a live "build-a-book" day. You asked for: • Public humiliation • Believed-the-wrong-person betrayal • Nuclear heartbreak • A man who has to earn her back And as I was reading your comments, one character kept echoing in my head. Clutch. You met him in Unlawful Hearts. You saw the quiet weight he carried. You heard him whisper to Remi. You watched him stand in the fire with the Dawnbreakers. This is his story. Welcome back to the Redemption Road world, this is within the same timeline as Unlawful Hearts.

Marietta St James leaves because there is nothing left for her in the place where everything ended. She doesn't call it running. She calls it survival. She takes her daughter and the quiet weight of what she's done, and she goes somewhere no one knows her name. Time stretches. Cities change. Her body changes. She becomes a mother again. She learns how to wake up without bracing herself for bad news. When she finally stops moving, it's New York. Not because it's kind, but because it's honest. She opens a gallery. She builds a life that fits inside daylight. Her world becomes small and precious, school mornings, paint on her hands, bedtime stories, laughter she didn't think she deserved. She stops waiting for Isaiah. Not because she stops caring, but because caring without being chosen hurts too much. Years of silence teach her what absence really means. Until silence breaks. Not loudly. Not all at once. Just enough to remind her that the past doesn't always stay where you leave it. A name she thought was finished begins to circulate again. A man she trained herself not to look for is suddenly too close to ignore. The distance she trusted starts to collapse. This story lives in what happens after peace is found, and threatened. In the way old lives resurface without warning. In the truth that some people don't stay gone simply because they were supposed to. And some loves don't end just because they were left behind. Beyond Their Lies is about the lies we leave behind and how it catches up to us. And about the moment you realize the past didn't disappear. It was only waiting.
