Excerpt
Now that I understand how good Dante Perosi is as an actor, I know I must play the same game. 
The sensible solution would be to walk to him and break our engagement. But where is the fun in that? 

I don't feel sensible or nice anymore. I am mad and hurt, and frankly, what I want is to burn things down. Since I know that arson is a crime, I'd rather take time to plan my next steps. 
Well, Dante Perosi, let's see if you still think I'm a good girl after I'm done with you.All Rights Reserved

The Heather Wife- Available On KU & Paperback by HopingForTheBest44

Sorcha MacAlasdair, daughter of a proud Laird, with her quiet beauty and untameable nature, is like the heather that grows across the hills of her Highland home-nurturing, steadfast, and resilient. Betrothed in childhood, her marriage was forged in blood and duty, meant to bind two clans together against a common enemy. She asked for nothing and expected even less from the unwanted union-though in the quiet corners of her heart, she hoped it might become more than obligation. That, perhaps, love might grow from the bond her clan's future depended on. Calum MacRae resented the duty forced upon him. He saw Sorcha as a burden-a symbol of obligation, not choice. His heart belonged to Elspeth-a childhood friend whose charm and ambition shaped the future he believed he deserved. Though his Laird father warned him of sacred vows and the cost of defiance, Calum chose betrayal. He turned his back on Sorcha-insisting she remain a wife in name only. But war changes everything. Calum returns to a home scarred by conflict. A clan whose loyalties have wholly turned away from him. And a future far different from the one he abandoned her for. The woman he ignored-his inconvenient bride-has become the heart of the keep. Sorcha, the heather he once overlooked-wild, rooted, and impossible to break-is now the only thing standing between him and ruin.

The Man Who Failed Me by abcz147

"You hurt me. You broke your promise" she bit down on her trembling lips, trying to trap the sob clawing its way up her throat. "I failed you again. This wasn't meant to happen." His voice hoarse and strained. He clenched his jaw, hands curling into a fist fighting the unbearable urge to comfort her. "I love you," his confession remained an inaudible whisper. His grief-stricken eyes searched hers-bruised, desperate-but when they met her accusing gaze, he looked away. "But... she's pregnant with your child?" Her voice cracked, laced with betrayal and disbelief. Her hands tremble as if the truth burns her. ~~~~ She gave him her heart. He gave her every reason to break. Aurora Paddleston was the golden girl-gentle, beloved, and fiercely protected by her powerful family. Till she unknowingly fell in love with their business rival. Marrying Alan, should have been a happy ending. Instead, it became her undoing. Betrayal. Divorce. And a devastating goodbye.

He reappears-haunted, desperate, and utterly unaware of their divorce. Spending every moment searching for her. Old wounds reopen. Secrets begin to unravel. And just as their fragile connection begins to heal, another woman steps forward-claiming to be carrying Alan's child. Can a love once broken survive another blow? Or will history repeat itself... and shatter them for good?

Family Ties by Jumpix

"How far would you go to take your family back? Even after you were the one to destroy it first"

Stolen Vows by cleofarlyn

Five years ago, I stood at the altar in white, ready to vow myself to Ronan Vale. My protector, my obsession, my forever. Until a gunshot shattered my world. I survived. But he left. No explanations. No promises. Just a letter as cold as his silence, telling me we were done. Now I'm walking down another aisle. This time to a man I despise. A man who threatens my family, who wears power like a weapon. I swore Ronan was gone forever. I swore I'd never forgive him. But on the day I'm meant to become someone else's bride... Ronan comes back. He stole me once with love. Now he'll steal me again with fire. He says I'm his. He says he'll burn the world before he lets me go again. And the worst part? I should hate every second of being in his house again. But my heart remembers what my pride refuses to. And that terrifies me more than Ronan Vale ever could.

Fractured Hearts by untitledliar

In a world where promises are as fragile as glass, Micah Grimaldi never expected hers to break so suddenly. After a betrayal that redefines what it means to trust, she finds herself carrying the weight of a secret-one that ties her to a past she can't ignore and a future she's still learning to face. Back in the comfort of the familiar, surrounded by the quiet presence of those who care, Micah begins to piece herself together again. As old dreams fall away and new realities take shape, she learns that healing isn't loud-it's slow, quiet, and deeply personal. This is a story of resilience, of finding strength in the people who stay, and of realizing that starting over doesn't mean starting from nothing.
