Stella's heart soared at the thought that only her son would be returning home for the Christmas holiday. It was a dream come true for her, one she had been looking forward to. Her heart was filled with sheer bliss until the moment she laid eyes on Trevor after five years, standing by the door with her son. The object of her wildest fantasies and long hidden secret. Trevor, in the flesh, with that knowing, seductive smile on his face that makes her thighs throb with desire. Stella scolded herself for even entertaining such sinful and forbidden thoughts, knowing that he was her son's best friend. But her body, her traitorous body, reacted instinctively to his presence, every part of her awakened by his mere gaze."Stop it, Stella!" she scolded herself again. "This is wrong."But she couldn't help it. Trevor had a way of making her feel alive, and the knowledge that he would be spending two weeks in her home only added to her inner turmoil. One look, one smile, one touch from him, and she was already trembling with desire. She knew it was wrong, but it felt so right.God help her, knowing that these two weeks with Trevor would be a tempting disaster waiting to happen. But she couldn't resist the allure of his presence, and she feared that her deepest secret would be unraveled in the process, turning her world upside down.

Warning: Mature content involved. They say love can heal all wounds. I learned it was the first lie. I married Damian Reeve, believing in us, believing in hope, only to find I was nothing more than a tool…a vessel for his heirs, a pawn in a game I never agreed to play. Betrayed by the man I trusted, abandoned by my own family, and humiliated by the woman I thought was my friend, as if that wasn't enough I was diagnosed with a killer disease–congnitive identity regression disorder. (CIRD) But just when I thought I could start over, Damian , West and other Alphas alongside Enigmas came and they brought along troubles with them. What was this life going to be like now?
