LOGIN"This novel explores complicated relationships, betrayal, family conflict, emotional manipulation, and difficult personal choices. Some themes may be emotionally challenging for certain readers. I thought I knew the man I married. I was wrong. On our anniversary, I discovered that my husband had been hiding a devastating secret from me. In a single night, everything I believed about our marriage fell apart. Just when I thought things couldn't become more complicated, his father stepped into the middle of our broken relationship. He studied me carefully before giving me a knowing smile. ""Careful, Little Trouble. Before you make your next move, you should know there's far more happening inside this family than my son has ever told you."" I froze. ""What are you talking about?"" His expression became serious. ""The truth about your marriage."" Suddenly, my husband's betrayal wasn't the only secret I needed to uncover. And his father might be the only person willing to tell me what this family has been hiding."

I am being serious. How do you know my name?”His gaze dropped to my finger before returning to my face. “You become very demanding when you’re nervous.”“I am not nervous. I am trying to figure out whether I should scream for security.”“You could scream.”“I have a feeling I’d enjoy hearing you.”Oh, for fuck’s sake.I slowly lowered my finger from his chest. “Was that supposed to turn me on?”“Did it?”“No.”“You answered very quickly.”“Because the answer was very obvious.”“Your answers have been obvious all night, Emma. Your body keeps disagreeing with them.”I folded my arms beneath my chest and glared at him. “Stop saying my name like that.”“Like what?”“You know exactly what you’re doing.”“I do.”At lea
I spun around so quickly that champagne sloshed over the rim of my glass and splashed across my fingers. A large hand closed around the stem before I could drop it while another settled against my waist to keep me from stumbling into the door. “Careful,” the man murmured. “It would be unfortunate if you announced yourself after working so hard to remain unnoticed.” My heart slammed against my ribs as I stared up at him. He was tall, broad, and dressed entirely in black. A dark mask covered the upper half of his face, but it did absolutely nothing to hide the sharp line of his jaw or the mouth currently curved into a very amused smile. I pushed his hand away from my waist and pressed my free hand against my chest. “Are you insane? You almost killed me.” “I spoke to you.” “You crept up behind me in a dark hallway while I was distracted.” His eyes moved toward the cracked bedroom door before returning to my face. “I noticed.” The amusement in his stupid ass voice made heat rus
I should have turned around. I should have listened to the tiny voice in my head that was screaming, Emma, this is none of your business. Go downstairs. Find the bartender. Order something strong enough to erase the last ten minutes of your life. I should have gone back to the party, found a quiet corner, and minded the business God gave me. Instead, my feet kept carrying me up those stairs. Apparently, curiosity had grabbed the steering wheel, thrown common sense into the trunk, and decided we were all going on a road trip to hell. With every step I took, the music from downstairs became quieter. The laughter faded until all I could hear was the soft clicking of my heels against the floor and the beating of my heart. I still had champagne in my hand, which made the entire thing worse. Who spies on their best friend while holding a glass of champagne? Me, apparently. A classy pervert. The first door on the left was cracked open just enough for a thin line of soft,
“Please stop whispering crazy things while I am standing right beside you. I have already witnessed enough sexual confusion for one night, and I refuse to become an audience member for whatever this is.”Nia laughed and finally stepped out of his arms, but he caught her by the waist and pulled her back against him before she could reach me.He lowered his mouth to her ear and whispered, “You are not leaving before you tell me where I can find you later.”She rested one hand against his chest and smiled up at him.“You can find me wherever the doors lock.”His eyes darkened immediately, and his hand tightened around her waist.I reached for Nia’s wrist and pulled her away before they could start touching each other again.“You can both continue making plans to ruin this yacht after I have had at least one drink.”Nia looked over her shoulder at him.“Do not go anywhere.”He watched her body as I dragged her away.“I was about to tell you the same thing.”I shook my head and tightened m
