They say you have no future without your past, but boy did I never expect to see Dominic again.
Everyone has baggage; right I get that.
But mine just happen to be a amazingly beautiful mobsters son.
Whom I spent a good chunk of my life getting over; 10... 12 years to be exact.
And finally when I thought I locked my Demons away, they walked right though my front door with an expensive bottle of wine and my best friend on their arm.
I was happy. I did it all without him, college, degrees, marriage. Everything!
And all was going well, until I noticed my baggage had a wedding ring on.
What did I do in a past life to deserve this?

BROKEN HOPE (Lucas & Emilia Book 2)
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.Complete
