Between Us And Sin I broke my vows. He broke the rules. Now, there's no turning back. The night I caught my husband cheating should have destroyed me. Instead, it set me free. A reckless, impulsive decision to drown my pain in whiskey and bad choices led me straight into the arms of a stranger-dark-eyed, wickedly confident, and devastatingly off-limits. I should have walked away. But I didn't. Because the man who pulled me into his bed with rough hands and a sinful mouth? He's not just any man. He's my husband's uncle. Older. Untouchable. Everything I should fear. But when he looks at me like I'm his next mistake, I forget all about the life I built-the one that was never real to begin with.

Loving each other wasn't the biggest sin. Getting caught will be.

He placed the wine glass on the table and shifted his gaze to me, "It's a deal." His face broke into a small smile as he stretched his hand out to me. Hesitantly, I shook his. "I hope this goes as intended," I sighed. "Surely," he said, drawing his hand away from mine. "As long as you keep your head in the game and don't grow feelings for me, Ms Pearl." He sneered. "Oh please," I rolled my eyes at him. "I should be the one saying that," I scoffed. The smirk he had on his face, faded into a light frown. "Just to get it out there, Ms Pearl. You are not my type." He said as his gaze bored into mine. ~~~~~~~ For Pearl, the last thing she could ever imagine was faking a relationship with no other, but Billionaire Onyekachi Phillips, a man who came from wealth but broken.
