Ryan "Ink" Malone has spent his whole life surviving by staying quiet, staying sharp, and never letting anyone get close enough to see what lives underneath the ink and control. As the Saints of Retribution's intel man, he can read everybody around him except the one person who gets under his skin fast enough to feel like a threat. ER nurse Evan Roberts is bright, fearless, and completely unapologetic about who he is. He's done hiding for other people's comfort, and he refuses to be anyone's secret. So when the quiet biker with haunted eyes starts circling him, Evan knows better than to expect easy. What he doesn't expect is to want him anyway. What starts as heat turns into something far more dangerous as old ghosts, buried secrets, and a past Ink thought he escaped come hunting their way back. Because wanting Evan is one thing. Keeping him safe, telling the truth, and learning how to be loved out in the open may cost Ink more than he's ready to lose.

Lila Morgan had once been Jackson Deacon Hayes's whole world. His best friend's little sister. The girl who trailed after them in summer with scraped knees, bookish eyes, and a heart too soft for the kind of world he came from. The girl he loved in silence until one reckless, perfect night changed everything. Then he disappeared without a word, convinced leaving was the only way to keep her safe. Years later, Deacon is back, harder than he used to be, shaped by old violence, the military, club life, and the weight of choices he can't undo. He returns to find Lila no longer the shy girl he left behind, but a guarded, graceful woman carrying wounds he never meant to give her. Then he sees Jade. His dark features. Lila's green eyes. And the truth he can't outrun. Now the past Deacon tried to bury is standing right in front of him, and the woman he never stopped loving is caught in the middle of secrets, danger, and betrayal far closer than either of them expects. As old enemies circle and buried truths come to light, Deacon will do whatever it takes to protect Lila and the daughter he never knew was his. He left once because he thought it was the only way to keep Lila safe. This time, he's staying.

She had his heart, his future, and the kind of love people envy. But when the girl from his past reappears armed with old memories and a too-familiar smile. Everything begins to shift. Loyalties blur, trust fractures, and the life she thought was unshakable slowly begins to slip away.

Before I was old enough to understand marriage, I was promised to Ronin Byrne. It was a match made to bind our families and tie my future to his. I was the girl from Ireland, raised to believe marriage was sacred and vows were kept for life. He was the heir to Boston's Irish mob, his father's crown waiting to pass to him the moment we said I do. I thought we were already partners. I thought he chose me. But Ronin set me straight the night I became his bride. In front of his men, our families, and everyone who mattered, he showed me exactly what the promises he made to me were worth. Nothing. He broke me with a smile as he walked away with another woman, leaving me in the wreckage of my own beliefs. He made his choice. So I made mine. I disappeared. I covered my tracks. I buried the girl he broke so deeply I hoped she would never resurface. But the past has a way of finding you, no matter how well you bury it. When the man I once trusted with my heart tracks me down to remind me that wives don't get to vanish and that I belong to him, he won't find the girl who loved him without question. She no longer exists. And if Ronin Byrne wants even a chance at earning back what he destroyed, he'll have to decide how much he's willing to bleed for it. I am Alannah O'Connell... and this is my heartbreak. Content & Historical Context Notice Faithless Vows is an emotionally intense romance set in the 1950s.

The worst kind of love is the kind that stays after you leave. 💔 Eric Mercer built himself from nothing. No family. No safety net. Just the agency, the man who mentored him, and the borrowed family who set a place for him at their table like he belonged there. Then he fell in love with their daughter. Mia Vaughn was his trainee. Then his wife. Then the closest thing Eric had ever had to a home. Until three days changed everything. What happened while Eric was away is something neither of them talks about. Not to friends. Not to family. Maybe not even to each other. Whatever they lost, their marriage went with it. Two years later, they still work in the same building. Still pass each other like strangers. Still share a marriage certificate neither has ended and a house neither has managed to sell. Professional contact. Zero personal. Until Malcolm Sinclair puts them on the same mission. A compromised asset. A small city in Mexico. One safehouse. And three officers. Eric. Mia. And Jonah Carter-the man she chose after him. The man who knows exactly whose estranged wife he's been sleeping with. And isn't apologising for it. Three weeks is a long time to share four walls with the woman you married too fast and lost too slowly. A long time to pretend you don't remember how it felt when she still reached for you. A long time to watch another man make her laugh and wonder when she stopped doing that with you. And an even longer time to avoid the one thing neither of you has been brave enough to face: Maybe what destroyed you wasn't that you stopped loving each other. Maybe it was that you never did. Some things don't stay buried just because you stopped digging. Some things claw their way back on their own. And some loves don't know when they're supposed to die. ⚠️ This book will contain explicit sexual content between consenting adults (18+), crude language, trauma and pregnancy loss
