❝ I'm going to keep playing Peter, your adoring husband, for as long as you can stay calm. ❞

The Wyatts are a power couple for the modern America. As young parents at the top of their careers in the FBI, Annie and Peter are defending national security one moment and painting macaroni art with their daughter Cassie the next.

With their combined talent for negotiating hostage situations, criminal profiling and interrogation, it's no surprise that hiding the cracks in their elopement is yet another skill in this couple's retinue. Almost seven years after the drunken one-night stand that brought them together, there aren't any lies left to tell.

On the eve of fruition for Annie's career-defining bid: a shot at deputy chief of staff, she's left with just one loose end to chase. All she needs to do is find the FBI mole who has successfully evaded the sights of her taskforce for the last eight months.

As the investigation converges on her own husband, Annie is forced to question the one loyalty she vowed never to compromise. In a marriage born of lies, is there still such a thing as true love?

BROKEN HOPE (Lucas & Emilia Book 2) by ArianaClarkAuthor

I was so damn naive it's no wonder I've ended up here. Kidnapped by the man who promised me forever, just as I'd begun to understand the depths of his betrayal. It's a sad truth I didn't marry my husband for love. I married him for the life he promised to provide, and if I'm honest with myself, I married him in hopes one day he'd fill the void Lucas-my first love-left behind. Now after so many years, they're both back. And in my desperation to feel loved, to be wanted and chosen I've walked straight into this trap. All because I forgot life's harshest lesson... I'm not enough. No matter how much or how fiercely I love, the choice will never be me. Especially now. Surrounded by danger and at the mercy of my husband's enemies, I'm forced to face one final bit of truth. Much like love, hope is for the weak. I was a fool to believe in the vows and promises they made. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 2 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc. For the complete experience, start with Book 1: Broken Vows.
