The Second Husband

In the realm of love, where fate often dances with unpredictability, second chances emerge as beacons of hope. Amidst the scars of past heartbreak and the echoes of missed opportunities, two souls find themselves at the crossroads of redemption. Eloise Garcia is a 24-year-old single mother, who needs to save her son from a fatal blood disease. But there’s one big problem, her son’s continuous medications and a much-needed bone marrow transplant will cost her a fortune, which she doesn’t have. Desperate and out of options, she finally decides to do what she can’t believe she must do - to reconnect with her son’s biological father, a multi-billionaire Alpha of one of the most powerful packs in the country, Braxton Guttierrez. She’s aware that her journey with him isn’t going to be easy like the last time they were together, but she will stop at nothing to save her dying child. Once the distance she stretched between her and the only man she has ever loved shrinks again, will the universe weave its tapestry of possibilities and offer them an opportunity to rewrite their love story?

Everyone knew that Aria Jackson had loved Larry Spencer for years. The usually obedient Aria got tattoos for him, broke rules for him, and even moved to a foreign city for him. But when she fell into the lake and he rescued her rival instead, leaving her soaking and miserable, her heart finally shattered completely. The man who came after Larry held her protectively in his arms and suggested with a gentle laugh, "Miss Jackson, have you considered teaching your ex-husband a lesson?" She promptly filed for divorce and married Archer Duncan, the heir to the Duncan empire and the powerful CEO of Duncan Industries. That evening, their marriage certificate was posted on social media. The typically aloof Larry finally showed his desperation, begging her not to marry Archer and then turning to threaten him, "You think she loves you? She's just using the Duncan family's wealth and connections!" Archer simply tightened his arm around her waist and replied calmly, "So what? Fortunately, I have both in abundance." What no one knew was that Aria had been Archer's carefully laid plan all along. He had deeply loved this rose from the beginning—he admired her ambition and was eager to support her boldness and independence.

Five years ago, Aleksandr Volkov, alpha of the Silver Eclipse Pack, tragically lost his mate. Just as he begins to find his way back to "normal" he is blessed with a second chance mate. But did the Moon Goddess make a mistake? As a human who doesn't even believe werewolves exist, Rieka's kids are her world. When she learns that these impossible creatures are real--and that she is mated to their Alpha--she's faced with a love she didn't ask for, and world she doesn't understand. Plagued with guilt for what this could do to her children, Rieka resists the bond and avoids Aleksandr. But just when Rieka begins to come around, they are betrayed, and Rieka's worst fears come true as her children are forced to face the possibility of losing her. Can Aleksandr and Rieka overcome UNCERTAINTY and BETRAYAL to rule the pack together? Or will both of them face the ultimate loss? *** I know this novel might have a slightly slower start than some others, but that's why I offer so many free chapters before you have to begin paying to unlock them. Read the reviews written by other readers, it's worth it. *** This is a slow burn romance, so please be prepared. The book is marked completed, however, I did continue Aleksandr and Rieka’s story in another book titled “The Luna’s Family Secret.” My other book “Going Rogue” is the story of Gina (a side character in this book), but can be read independently. Each book has some spoilers for the other because of how the timelines overlap.
