Jenna Valentino thought she had found her forever after. Life was good. A husband she loved, a daughter she adored, a dream job and a beautiful home. But nothing could prepare her for the bittersweet taste of betrayal, shattering the illusion. Devastated. She wants more to do with love, but then love presents itself when you least expect or want it and in this case it arrived in the form of her husbands brother, the black sheep of the Valentino family. Can she move past the betrayal and bitterness to take a bite from the forbidden fruit and love again? ❤️ Note: This will be my first attempt at sweet romance, and I'm not sure if it will head into the realms of 'mature' definitely... a little steamy, but more on the sweeter side! I have my other book 'Perfectly Normal' to feed my filthy side 😘 Enjoy Start November 2020 - Completed July 21 Cover by the amazing and talented Lael @candlesandwhips ❤️Complete
