But instead of fighting harder for the woman he promised forever to, he finds comfort somewhere he never should have looked. One mistake becomes a secret. One secret becomes a betrayal. And suddenly, the marriage they spent years building is standing on the edge of ruin. Emily never imagined the man she loved could be the one to break her. Asher never imagined losing her would be the price of everything he did. But when the truth finally comes out, forgiveness won't be easy, and loving each other again may be even harder. Because sometimes losing someone doesn't mean you stopped loving them. Sometimes, it means you forgot how to love them without destroying each other.

He cheated. He lied. And he thought I'd never find out. For three years, I gave everything to my marriage while my husband, Nathan, secretly gave his time, affection, and promises to another woman. Then I found the proof. And from that moment on, something inside me changed. I didn't confront him. I didn't cry in front of him. I didn't let a single word slip. Nathan never noticed. To him, I was still the same loving wife who trusted him completely. He had no idea that every smile, every quiet dinner, and every ordinary conversation was hiding a truth he wasn't supposed to know. While Nathan continued living comfortably, believing his secret was safe, I quietly began rebuilding the life I had sacrificed for him-my career, my confidence, my independence, and the woman I used to be. I wasn't planning a scene. I was planning my exit. And when the time comes, Nathan won't get a warning. He won't get an explanation. He won't even get the chance to watch me fall apart. He'll simply wake up one day and realize that the wife he thought would always be there... is gone. Not broken. Not begging. Not waiting for him. Just finally free. And by the time Nathan discovers what I knew all along, I'll be far beyond his reach.

Addison May and Jack Carter share a past that neither of them talks about anymore, the kind of past that still aches if you touch it too closely. Years ago, they were inseparable-young, in love, and full of plans they thought were unbreakable. But everything changed when Jack's mother fell ill. The grief hit him like a tidal wave, dragging him under before anyone could reach him. He turned to drinking, to shutting people out, to numbing himself in any way he could. And Addison, who loved him more than she ever admitted out loud, tried to hold on. She tried until she had nothing left to give. But the lowest point came the night she found out he'd cheated. In that instant, every version of their future shattered. She walked away without letting him explain, without letting herself look back. She swore she'd never trust him again. Never speak to him again. Never, ever let him close enough to hurt her again. Over time, her heartbreak hardened into anger, and that anger turned into something she told herself was hate-sharp, cold, and permanent. Years passed. They built separate lives, avoided the same rooms, the same conversations, the same memories. Addison convinced herself she was over it. Over him. Until now. At their best friends' wedding-surrounded by soft lights, slow music, and too many glasses of champagne-fate throws them right back into each other's orbit. One look across the room unravels her, one awkward "hi" tempts him, and one moment of shared laughter feels dangerously familiar. The night blurs, their walls loosen, and every emotion they buried rises to the surface. And when one thing leads to another... Addison is forced to face a truth she's avoided for years: The past isn't done with them. Not even close.

Book One of The Game of Hearts Adelina Kelley has never liked Deagan Jones. He's arrogant, cocky, constantly teasing her, and has a reputation for treating relationships like games. As the school's star football player, Deagan is used to getting attention-and he's convinced Adelina will eventually be no different. But Adelina isn't impressed. She's fiery, stubborn, outspoken, and completely determined to keep her distance from him. She's also already in a committed relationship, making her the one girl Deagan knows he shouldn't pursue. Then his best friends, Kalon and Royce, give him a challenge: make Adelina fall for him. If he succeeds, they become his personal "lap dogs" for a month. Deagan accepts, certain that winning will be easy. It isn't. Every interaction between them turns into an argument. Every challenge makes their rivalry worse. But the more time Deagan spends around Adelina, the more he begins to see the person behind her attitude-the girl who loves painting, hides her softer side, and cares more deeply than she lets anyone know. What starts as a bet slowly becomes something real. Deagan finds himself thinking about her when she's not around. He starts caring about what she thinks of him. And before he realizes it, the boy who thought love was nothing more than a game is falling for the one girl who never wanted to play. For real. But Adelina knows nothing about the bet.

To Deagan, the bet may have been fake-but his feelings aren't. Now he has to prove that somewhere between trying to win a game and getting closer to the girl who hated him, he stopped playing altogether. Because winning Adelina's heart was never supposed to mean losing her trust. And sometimes, the hardest part of falling in love is convincing the person you hurt that your love is real.
