He cups my face, his thumb brushing my cheek. "Come on. You know you're the only one for me." He kisses my forehead. What would you do if you discovered that your husband of eighteen years is having an affair? No... don't answer yet. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬. Eighteen years. Not eighteen days. A history. A family. There's a long road between suspicion, the footprints left in the sand, and the devastating truth that the life you knew is already over. I saw it coming. I felt it in my bones. Late nights at work. Sleeping at the office. The distance... the way his eyes could no longer hold mine. Lipstick stains where they didn't belong. Unfamiliar scents clinging to a man who should only ever smell like him and me. 𝘏𝘪𝘮 & 𝘮𝘦. But when a third person enters your marriage... there's nothing left to save. 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘏𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘥𝘦 is the first book in a trilogy that follows Cecily's journey.

The kind of love powerful enough to reshape worlds and give meaning to every wound left behind.

Sci-fi nut, blonde bombshell, and severely no filter Brooke is ready for a fresh start. Done are the days of trashy boyfriends, who couldn't find the right spot if there were fluorescent signs pointing to it, and deadbeat mega mooches. Not to mention, the one night stands that leave you having to take a mental inventory of exactly what you've brought with you, when you're trying to make a speedy exit. That is until she meets Deacon. The mountain of a man she wouldn't mind trekking up to reach the top. He's the right kind of charming, the perfect amount of flirt, and the first guy who hasn't looked stumped when she opens her mouth to sass. In fact he's lightning quick on the sass himself. There's just one problem.. He doesn't date. In fact, Deacon's specialty is the one night of hot, sweaty fun. Something which Brooke is avoiding like the damn plague. However, when the conversations flow on, the insane attraction grows stronger, and the time spent together gets more heated, will they be able to resist the obvious pull they have towards each other forever?... Or does the man who never dates, have a reason for it that might tear them apart over and over...

When Antonia's mother remarries, fourteen year old Antonia remains in the only home she has ever known. What changes is the dynamic inside it. Elena Hayes, her older and strikingly beautiful step sister, enters their world slowly and with very little interest in becoming family. Elena is elegant, admired, and fake, and sharing the same home with her during visits feels more like a calculated rivalry than sisterhood. The situation begins to worsen when Elena brings home her boyfriend, Logan Cruz. Logan is gentle and attentive, and his warmth gives Antonia a sense of safety she has never felt with Elena around. The feeling she has for him grows quickly and genuinely. It's not a childish crush. It's love that she feels in every part of her young heart. Logan sees her only as a kind and thoughtful girl, and the bond between them remains innocent on his side. A single event tears the little peace they had apart, and Antonia is left carrying her feelings in silence as the years move forward. Logan becomes a memory she cannot forget, one she holds privately in the quietest corners of her life. Years later, when Antonia and Logan cross paths again, she has grown into a confident woman with certainty, and emotional strength. Logan can no longer dismiss what exists between them, and the connection that once lived beneath the surface becomes impossible to ignore. Elena has no intention of losing control over anything she believes belongs inside her sphere. She has always excelled at rivalry, and this time the stakes involve loyalty, pride, and love. Two step-sisters. One man. A rivalry that began long before anyone understood the cost.

To most people, my husband is Viper. VP of the Devil's Rejects MC, hard, uncompromising, and completely committed to the club and his brothers. But the man I fell in love with was simply Roman, a man who called me Sunshine, and treated me like I was his treasure. By the time I realized the club would always come first, I was in too deep. And when his enemies came for me? He wasn't there to protect me because he was busy protecting her. And that I don't know how to forgive. Now I'm building a new life for myself without Roman. He promises he will give up everything to win me back, but promises are cheap and his aren't worth much. When we discover our enemies are still alive and planning to strike out again, however, I might not have any choice but to put my life in the hands of the man who's already let me down once.
