Chapter one

The Whitfield estate sat behind iron gates at the edge of the city, the mansion was more like a palace extravagant and magnificent. Tonight every room on the ground floor was lit, voices spilling from the main hall where the family had gathered to welcome my cousin-in-law's new son into the world.I stood near the edge of it all with a gift bag in my hands, waiting for a break in the circle of relatives surrounding her. When it came, I stepped forward and pressed the bag into her arms, told her he was beautiful, I meant it, and stepped back into the crowd before anyone could ask me anything.It didn't work for long."Alyssa." My mother-in-law found me the way she always did, appearing beside me. "Where is Corin tonight? I don't see him.""A business trip," I said. "He'll be back soon.""Again." She said the word like a verdict. "That boy works himself to the bone." Then her eyes moved over me, slow and deliberate. "Four years married, Alyssa. One would think by now there'd be some goo

Chapter Two

The car was silent except for the sound of the road under us. I hadn't slept the night before, and Callan hadn't said much since he picked me up. My thoughts were scattered the whole drive. Part of me still prayed, stupidly, desperately, that I was overthinking all of this, that Corin loved me too much to ever do what Callan said he was doing, that he was still away on his business trip, Corin had called me last night,asked about how I was doing,part of me wanted to confront him and tell him what Callen said but I held back myself.It was better to see it myself than believing anything anyone says, because right now I didn't even know who was lying to me Callen or Corin but the next few hours will tell. We drove for almost an hour before the villa came into view, tucked behind a row of trees at the end of a private road. I knew this place. Corin bought it two years ago, right after our honeymoon. He said it would be ours, a place just for us, away from everyone, a place no one else

Chapter Three

The road back to the city should have taken about an hour. Twenty minutes after we left the villa, the sky opened.Rain hammered the windshield so hard I could barely see the road ahead. Callan slowed the car, his attention fixed on the flooding stretch of highway in front of us. "This wasn't in the forecast," he muttered.Water was already pooling across the lanes, and somewhere in the distance I heard something crack, maybe a tree, I couldn't tell over the sound of the storm slamming against the windows. The car lurched as the tires lost grip for a second."There's a hotel about half a mile up ," Callan said, checking the location with his phone, pulling over as far as the flooding allowed. "We won't make it in the car. Road's already blocked ahead.""We'll walk its better than sitting here." He was already unbuckling. "Come on."The wind nearly tore the door out of my hand the moment I opened it. Rain hit me sideways, soaking through my clothes in seconds but it couldn't wash away

"I'm not a kid, Callan. I know what I'm doing. I'm very sure about this," I said, kissing him again.This time he opened up, sucking my whole lower lip between his, not giving me a chance to think, as if telling me there was no going back now. I tried to meet his pace, our tongues rolling together, and I knew I shouldn't compare, but the way he kissed was wild, intoxicating, nothing like Corin.My hand slid into his hair, pulling him deeper into the kiss even as I felt myself starting to lose my breath. My heart was beating so loudly I was certain he could hear it, every nerve in my body screaming that this was wrong. Of course I knew it was wrong. But I had already started, and some reckless, furious part of me refused to stop now.Since Corin wanted to make a fool of me, I would show him I could do exactly the same.The sound of a ringing phone cut through the room, and we pulled apart.Callan stepped back slightly, breathing harder than his usual composure ever allowed, and I reac
