Mag-log inSeren Caldwell was the perfect wife once, devoted to the life she and her husband built together. That illusion shattered the moment she walked into their bedroom and found her husband cheating on her with the girl she paid to save—a fucking charity case. She wanted a divorce, but he offered her a deal instead. An open marriage to protect their company while they took what we wanted from whoever they wanted. Heartbroken, humiliated and utterly enraged by Julian's actions, Seren ended up in the arms of the Vane after one too many drinks and a silly idea to get back at her husband. Alaric and Dominic Vane are the epitome of powerful, dangerous, addictive and the two men who happen to make Seren feel more alive in one night than Julian has in years. There’s just one problem; those men, handsomely dangerous and addictive as they are, are her husband's uncles. They're supposed to be off limits, but the lines between desire and forbidden territories seem to melt into one the moment they lay hands on her. Now her marriage is turning into a public scandal, secrets from the past are beginning to surface, and the deeper she falls into the Vane brothers’ world, the more dangerous her life becomes. Because these men don’t share easily, don’t forgive betrayal, and once they decide something belongs to them… they don’t let go. CONTENT WARNING ⚠️ This novel is intended for mature audiences and contains strong romantic themes, intense chemistry, emotional conflict, possessive behavior, jealousy, betrayal, and highly charged situations. The characters are flawed. Their choices are messy. Their love is complicated. Expect heartbreak, temptation, secrets, obsession and most importantly, expect a romance that refuses to play by the rules.
view more~SEREN~My reaction is as fast as lightning.In the blink of an eye, I shove Alaric away and spin around so quickly that my hair whips across my face. The sting barely registers, not when my heart is throwing a full-blown parade in my chest and nearly stops altogether as the doorknob turns again.Click.The door doesn't budge.It's locked."Huh?" I hear Georgia say from the other side. "Locked? Why—" She trails off before finishing the question.A second later, she lets out a heavy sigh."Where could those two have run off to?" she mutters and the next second, I hear her footsteps begin to fade in the opposite direction.My breath remains trapped in my throat the entire time. Only when I can no longer hear her voice or footsteps do I finally exhale the breath I didn't realize I'd been holding.The relief hits so suddenly that my legs decide to give out beneath me. Before I can fall, Dominic's arm is already around my waist, pulling me securely against his body."Easy there, Princess,"
~SEREN~For a full ten seconds, I stand frozen, the silence in the room stretching so thin I could practically hear my own blood rushing in my ears.Open marriage partners?These men—my husband's uncles—were not just proposing an affair. They were proposing... this. A sick, twisted arrangement that sounded so unbelievably filthy and yet, so undeniably tempting.I should have been disgusted. I should have shoved them away and marched out of the room.But I wasn't.Instead, I remained trapped between them, my body betraying me by leaning slightly into Alaric's touch while the arm around my waist from behind felt less like a cage and more like an anchor."You're insane," I finally manage to say, my voice barely above a whisper. "You're both insane."Alaric's lips curves into a slow, devastatingly handsome smile. "Maybe," he conceds, his thumb stroking my jaw in a way that sent sparks shooting down my spine. "Or maybe we're the only ones who see what your husband is too blind to appreciat
~SEREN~For a second, I'm overcome by a mixture of disgust and surprise as I finally realize what he's doing.Masturbating.He is actually beating off over the phone while his mother—the woman who loves these family gatherings more than anything—is downstairs.My surprise quickly morphs into anger.The audacity.If he doesn't have any respect for me anymore, then he should at least respect Georgia.But the bastard clearly doesn't think that way.My stomach churns further at the sounds drifting from the room.Julian's groans are poorly suppressed, and that two-faced bitch on the other end doesn't exactly have a silencer either."Do you like that, Julie? Wanna stick your cock in?"Nausea rises immediately.The little steak I'd managed to eat earlier threatens to crawl back up my throat.I take a step forward, already reaching for the doorknob, only to stop myself at the last second.What good would confronting him do?We were in an open marriage—one I'd technically agreed to, even if no
~SEREN~Target.The word echoed through my head as my heart hammered so hard against my ribs that I was certain Dominic could hear it.That's all I was to them.A target.A woman they found interesting enough to pursue, someone to satisfy their desires with because her husband had made a mockery of her.My fingers tighten around the edge of the marble counter as anger slowly rises within me."Target?" I repeat, shooting him a hard look. "I'm your niece-in-law," I spit, as though saying the words aloud could somehow erase what happened in that suite two nights ago.Dominic doesn't even pause to consider my argument. Instead, he leaned closer, so close that every breath I take carries his scent with it.His warm breath fans across my lips, and beneath it, I catch the faint aroma of the red wine Georgia had paired with dinner."Last I checked," he drawls, his eyes drifting from mine before slowly trailing downward until they settle on my lips and linger there. Instinctively, my tongue
~SEREN~"Strip."Alaric's command dances into ears like a hypnotic spell.My hands move before I can think to stop them and the icy-cold A.C air caresses my skin as my gown slips from my body, pooling around my feet in a black heap.Standing before him in nothing but the black, lace type underwear
~SEREN~For a second, my brain struggles to process the words that were just said.I blink once, then twice.“Excuse me?” I finally manage to choke out, my voice sounding foreign to my own ears.Surely, I must have misheard them.“You heard us,” the brown-haired twin says, like he’s discussing the
~SEREN~As someone involved in real estate and construction, I’d seen my fair share of attractive men, yet none of them came close to the two seated effortlessly in that VIP booth, commanding attention without even trying.Calling them handsome would’ve been an understatement.A more accurate descr
~SEREN~“The diagnosis shows you have Thyroid Disorder—hypothyroidism, Mrs. Caldwell. The chances of you having children are slim to none.”Doctor Brown’s words replay in my head as I pull into the driveway of my house and force the car to a stop, pressing my forehead against the steering wheel in
