It's Always Been You

As soon as Liam Evans turned 13, he knew he wanted 3 simple things in life.
1. To Join the marines
2. To Marry Cameron Mathews
3. To Finally one-up her older sister, Taylor Mathews, aka his nemesis.
And not necessarily in that order.
20 years later he has accomplished exactly 2 of those goals, however victory over Taylor and her smart mouth is still yet to be seen.
But as he avidly pursues his last goal, as well as juggling the ups and downs of his exhausting marriage and 2 young children, tragedy strikes.
Now, he must come to terms with depending on the one woman he swore he once hated.

Taylor Mathews has a secret.
She's always loved Liam Evans from afar.
Even the taboo of her being slightly older and Him being her younger sisters' husband has never stopped the longing she felt.
There's just one problem; he despises her.
For some reason, both are drawn to bickering in each other's presence, but Taylor long ago has resigned to the fact that her love will forever be one sided.
In fact, she'd rather die then have anyone realize her secret so if hiding behind a combative facade with him protects it, so be it.
And up until tragedy strikes, she's never had to worry about what would happen if that secret ever came to light.
Until now.

Excerpt:
...Taylor moved to step back away from Sloane's bereft group of male friends when the chivalrous one spoke up.
"And who might you be?"
There was a suggestive gleam in his eye that made her feel icky.
She was next to feel a strong hand grab her own and pull her away.
"She's my wife."
Liam called over his shoulder as he leaded her away...
