Liesl’s perfect marriage shatters. Her husband Merlin coldly demands a divorce after confessing he got another woman pregnant at her sister’s wedding. He even plans to marry her for the sake of the child. Betrayed and furious, Liesl must decide: will she walk away broken, or uncover the truth behind the man she thought she knew?
She kissed him again unable to stop the smile on her face. It had the makings of a perfect day. Isaias got into his car and called his father. “Papa, you won’t believe what I just did.” “What?” “Demolished Merlin McGrath’s house.” His father was silent and then gave a loud bark of laughter, “legally,…
“Liesl. I meant Liesl. This situation is temporary.” “Is it? I don’t know if her disgust for you will be short-lived. When I did the walk through of the house with her, she pointed out the kitchen where you screwed her sister while she was ill upstairs. I believe hate is more apt a descriptor.”…
“I’m not harassing you.” “What do you call it mom when you are literally calling every fucking day to ask me to give up my home? You’ve already made me give up everything else for her. If she wanted my heart, would you tell me to sacrifice my life for hers?” “That’s not funny, Liesl.”…
“Thanks, love.” “Mommy said you’re going to go dancing and she told Daddy you might even do a horizontal tango. What kind of dance is a horizontal tango!” “Meredith!” she bellowed in the direction of the kitchen where her sibling and his wife were snickering. “If you don’t want me telling your five-year-old exactly what…

“I can tell. He’s protective of you. He told me it didn’t matter how much money I had in the bank. If I made you sad after all the hell you’ve been through recently, he’d make me pay.” She threw her head back laughing, “did he now? Considering he’s so thin you could probably put…
“No, should I?” “I don’t know. I thought we were playing a game.” The girls who had come into the bathroom with Liesl snickered at her comment. She looked over her shoulder to note one of them was texting furiously on her phone. “Listen, you bitch, I’ve danced with him every time he’s come out.…
“Will this happen a lot? Where I get accosted by your ex-lovers who think I’m taking what is rightfully theirs?” “Truthfully?” he didn’t back away from her glare, “this is a first for me. If it’s happened before, nobody has told me about it. Craven is part of a group of women who attend all…
She exhaled a nervous breath as they ascended quickly to the suite. When they stepped out, she looked around in awe. She was speechless. The room was opulent and sexy with candles everywhere and multiple bouquets of flowers. “Holy moly.” He chuckled as he walked behind her and dropped a kiss to her nape. “You…
