Theirs To Keep

Two husbands taught her how to disappear. Two men are about to undo that.
⚠️ Mature Dark Romance. Contains heavy themes, taboo dynamics, and morally complex relationships. Reader discretion is advised.
Aelia Maren has been a wife twice - and a widow twice. Married young, then married off again, she learned the same lesson both times: survival means staying small, staying quiet, staying unwanted.
Then Richard Vane's son comes to collect what's left of his father's house - and finds Aelia still standing in it.
Lionel Vane is twenty-one, calls it duty, and doesn't yet know what he wants from her. Aelia doesn't ask. She's stopped expecting men to want anything from her that doesn't cost her something.
But Lionel isn't looking at her like his father did.
And he isn't the only one.
She belonged to his father. Now two men want to know who she belongs to next.
