Isabelle was a club girl. Not a name, not a voice--just a body people passed over without a second glance. But not Ryder. Something in him pulled her in, made her forget why she joined the Wardens of Sin MC in the first place. Made her forget she came here with a plan: get paid, get out, finish nursing school. Until Ryder reminded her exactly what she was in his world. She bent. But she didn't break. Now, she has no distractions. No man to crave. No heartbreak to nurse. Just herself--and the future she's resuming. Ryder never meant to fall for the girl everyone could touch. But he did. Hard. And when he was reminded that she'd only ever be a club girl--that hope was a luxury he couldn't afford--he destroyed what they had. Humiliated her. Left her behind like the wreck he saw in himself. But the truth never stays buried. And by the time it comes out, it might be too late.

MONTANA He was the love of my life-until he left me standing in the wreckage of our marriage. Five years later, Jared Manelis is a world champion boxer, and the father of my daughters. The man he is today is galaxies away from the boy with blood on his knuckles who once promised me forever. Now a stranger, with the world at his fingertips and a talent for irritating me to no end. But when he's left fighting for his life after a championship match, everything changes. Suddenly, the man who broke me is back inside the walls I built to keep him out. Now he's asking questions we've both avoided for years; while our present battles to keep us apart, our past fights to be brought to the light and bind us together again. JARED Five years ago, fame, pride, and one stupid choice cost me my marriage-and the family I'd always dreamed of. Now I'm with a woman I don't love, have an ex who smiles at everyone but me, and a daughter too nervous to meet my eyes. Then I'm shot after the biggest night of my career-and all I can see is her. When death caresses your cheek, you know it's time to fight for what you want. So I force my way back into her world, where she can't ignore me anymore, and begin my fight for the truth, a chance to be us again. I'll remind her why she chose me all those years ago and show her why I'm worth choosing again.

Todega: Population 386 Josie Winters has it all-a life she loves, a father who adores her. Her best friend came back to town after three years, and a perfect boyfriend who she is certain is about to ask her a very important question. Until the night it shatters. The town she calls home is taken, her life thrown into chaos, and everything she thought she knew... is a lie.

I never believed in marriage. Not after growing up watching it tear my family apart. Wanting someone was easy. Loving someone was dangerous. But promising forever? That felt impossible. And then came Dean Ashford. He never asked for much; just me, just us, just a future he swore he'd protect with everything he had. And when he asked for that future-when he held out a ring with hands that were shaking-I did the one thing I never wanted to do. I walked away. He broke. I broke. And the next morning, when I finally found the courage to choose him-really choose him-I had no idea he'd spent the night destroying everything we ever were. I had no idea what I was walking into. I had no idea what he'd done. I thought the worst thing I'd ever feel was the fear of losing him. I was wrong. Because nothing prepares you for the moment the person you love looks at you with eyes full of secrets... Nothing prepares you for the truth that the one night you walked away was the one night he didn't. And now I have to decide if the love I built my world around can survive the one mistake that broke both of us.

They had loved for thirty years, or so she thought. One night, that love was shattered; betrayed, humiliated, and tested beyond endurance. She endured silently, carrying her pain alone, shielding her children from the truth. And he... he begged for her forgiveness, only to realize too late the depth of what he had lost.

Well sometimes the life isn't what you think and your husband isn't the one you imagined ........ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .( Not edited)
