MK Writes
“Still thinking about me, even after everything?” Roman asked, his voice low as he studied my face. “Two years of pretending you're happy, and one conversation with me is enough to shake everything you've built.”
“I hate you,” I whispered.
“No, you don't.” His gaze held mine, unwavering. “You hate that your husband stopped seeing you long ago. You hate that his own brother is the one who reminds you what it feels like to be understood.”
He was right, and I hated him for it.

It should never have been Roman standing beside me, challenging everything I believed about love, loyalty, and marriage.
He was reckless, unapologetic, and everything I should have stayed away from.
He was also my husband's brother.
Yet somehow, one conversation with him was enough to unravel two years of silence, disappointment, and carefully hidden pain. He saw the woman I had become beneath the weight of a marriage that had long since lost its warmth.
I should have walked away the night he found me sitting alone on that couch.
Instead, I let him into my world.
And Roman Clarke had no intention of leaving it unchanged.
Some secrets can destroy a family. Some truths can shatter a marriage. And some forbidden connections force you to choose between the life you've promised to protect and the life you've always deserved.
