No blurb yet, but in short: marriage-in-crisis. Both working professionals. She's a public defender; he's a court reporter. Will have emotional cheating on hero's side. Betrayal in that emotional cheating sense, grovel, and redemption. Will have OW drama, but I'm not sure how much yet and to what degree. It will be posted on Wattpad and free, but eventually I may pull it for KU--depending--once it's completed and edited. A new chapter(s) will be published on Fridays. At no specific time.

"I ruined her." This realization brings Marcus Holden to his knees, but it might already be too late. Thirteen years ago, Marcus walked away from Celeste, convinced she betrayed him. She didn't. Celeste let him believe the lie, thinking she owed him. It destroyed her. Now, fate has put them in each other's crosshairs-and neither is willing to back off. Marcus is harder, sharper, and still holding on to old grudges. Celeste is determined to rebuild her life, tenaciously guarding her secrets. She could stay away. She should stay away.

I thought I knew the cost of ambition. I built my husband's company from the ground up, coding through exhaustion and pregnancy while he charmed investors and claimed the spotlight. I told myself we were a team. Until I lose my baby, alone, and see him laughing on a rooftop party with another woman. That night, I log back into the system I designed and make a small adjustment. Not enough to destroy it. Just enough to make it tremble. _______________________________________ Levi Thorne, the billionaire CEO preparing to merge with Eli's company, recognises the precision immediately. And when he reaches out to the mysterious "Ghost" behind the architecture, he finds something far more dangerous than sabotage: a woman who has been underestimated for far too long.

Because the most powerful revenge isn't destruction. It's a revelation.

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.

Elliot Vale doesn't fall in love. He manages perception. As the public face of Northwell, he understands one thing better than anyone: appearances are everything. Stability matters. Control matters.

No emotional liability. Harper Lane knows exactly what she's agreeing to. She builds brands for a living. She understands strategy.

Until pretending feels indistinguishable from truth. Until Harper starts wanting something that was never part of the agreement. And when Elliot, desperate to prove he's still in control, reminds her exactly what their arrangement was... he does it in a way Harper can't forgive. She doesn't fight. She doesn't beg. She chooses herself. And Elliot is left to face the one thing he never planned for: Feelings don't follow contracts.

She loved him loudly. He loved her quietly-only when it was convenient. Leah believed two years of love meant security, a future, a place she could finally call hers.

This is a story about emotional neglect, unspoken loyalties, and the slow realization that love without priority is a form of loss. It asks a difficult question: How long can you stay where you are never fully chosen?
