Unfaithful - [English] - Hosie

During the golden years of European aristocracy, between 1825 and 1895, Josette Saltzman and Hope Mikaelson share a forbidden love, hidden away from the rigid norms of society.

Josie, heir to an influential family, is forced by her father, Alaric, to marry a wealthy prince infamous for his excesses and infidelities. Trapped in a fate she did not choose, Josie's heart shatters as she loses Hope, who, unable to bear the pain, leaves town in search of a new life.

Years later, Hope returns to attend the wedding of Rafael, her childhood best friend, only to find that the town has changed-and so have the people she left behind.

Reuniting with Josie reignites buried feelings, and the truth about the young woman's marriage comes to light: a secret that could change everything.

Amid intrigues, secrets, and a love that never died, Hope and Josie will face the forces that stand between them. But is their love strong enough to defy fate and give them a second chance?

An epic and captivating romance about sacrifice, courage, and the pursuit of a love that endures through time.
