Finding out we were going to be parents was supposed to be the happiest time of our lives. Instead, I feel my husband, Ethan, drifting away from me a little more every day. He's late coming home from work, he disappears for long periods of time, he's irritable and closed off, and nothing I say or do seems to reach him. As tensions between us mount, I'm discovering parts of my husband's past that I never knew existed. And when everything comes tumbling down, I'm forced to ask myself: how well do I really know the man I love?

Elizabeth Williams is a woman who has it all. A highly rewarding job, good friends, respect in her field but most of all; she has the best husband in the world. Then one day, she overhears her husband talking to another woman. A woman he swore was nothing but a friend and coworker. A woman who she never truly warmed up to. And what she hears breaks her heart. Now she's questioning everything about her husband and marriage that she thought was true. And she's wondering if she can still stay. But her husband has made it clear that he's not willing to let her and their marriage go. No matter what he has to do. _________________________________________________________________ A heartbreaking betrayal. A marriage in shambles. A husband's regret. A fight to win back the woman he loves. A satisfying grovel.

I allowed myself to look past my intuition and distrust of a certain someone and their interactions with my fiancé ... I mean ex-fiancé. I chose trust in him over distrust of her at every crossroads his choices created, and now I'm lost. Maybe breaking it down again, piece by piece will help me look at the big picture logically. Maybe then I can feel less illogical pain and find my way back to myself again.

There's a long road between suspicion, footprints left in the sand, and the absolutely devastating truth that life as you know it has ended. I saw it all coming. Felt it in my bones.

Fern thought marriage meant partnership, love, and the quiet safety of family. For five years she's tried to believe that-tried to ignore the sharp edges of a mother-in-law who never wanted her, an ex who had moved too close for comfort and a husband who is always looking the other way. But when one night of negligence leaves their little girl in a hospital bed with burns on her hand, Fern can no longer swallow the excuses. She is done being the afterthought in her own marriage. Her husband Conner insists he loves her, but love doesn't keep a child safe. Love doesn't silence a mother-in-law's whispers or stop an ex from poisoning the air of every family gathering. Love isn't enough-not when Fern's entire world has been built on the shaky ground of compromise. And as the fractures in their marriage widen into fault lines, Fern has to face the question she's been afraid to ask- What if walking away is the only way to save herself and her daughter?

He's made mistakes. Too many to count, but none as devastating as risking the love of his life. Can he win her back, or will their love slip through his fingers forever?

Charlie has loved her husband for the past five years. She thought they had a happy marriage, one built on trust and with love. Until she finds a suspicious item in her husband's luggage from a most recent business trip. The doubt causes her to hire a private investigator. Her world is completely shattered when she receives her first email from him. The life she thought she was living was a lie. That she was never enough.

They said peace came with a price. For her, it came wrapped in a contract-escorted to a stranger's doorstep with nothing but her father's word and her country's wounds stitched into the hem of her wedding veil. She was not given, not chosen-surrendered. To him. Dimitri Moretti. The underboss. The ghost-eyed shadow who stood beside the Don, with blood on his hands and no love in his eyes. He didn't look at her like a bride. He looked at her like duty. Still, she tried. With trembling hands, she served his coffee. With hopeful eyes, she waited at the door. She stitched pieces of herself into his world-quiet, careful, never asking for more than he gave. And when he came home bloodied and bruised, she was there. Not because he wanted her- but because she chose to stay. And somewhere between his silence and her surrender, she fell in love with the man who never said it back. Then came the storm. The night the sky split open with lightning and truth. She found him- rain soaking through his clothes, lips tangled with her-the Don's sister. Desperation between their bodies like the thunder overhead. And when their eyes met across the downpour- There was nothing. No regret. No apology. Only his voice, cold and sharp through the storm. "I will always love her. But I can't give you a divorce." Her world didn't crack. It shattered. But she couldn't ask for freedom. Not then. Not when her marriage was a ceasefire between empires. Until fate offered her a loophole. A shootout. A rescue. And the Don, grateful and indebted, offered her his word-anything she wanted. She asked for freedom. Now? Now he won't let her go. Not because of duty. Not because of honor. Because of love. And if it comes to it- he won't hesitate to retaliate against the very man he swore to serve.
