Blurb:
Hayden Matthews isn’t looking for love—she’s trying to get as
far from it as possible. She's already wasted eight years in a failed marriage
and is ready for a good life. A peaceful life. One where she can raise her
daughter to be strong, independent, and happy. But to make that happen, she
must fix her own life first.
Cam Vorelli has loved Hayden since he was in grade school.
Always in the friend-zone, he stood on the sidelines, his heart breaking, as
she said I do to the wrong man. A man he knew didn’t deserve her, who could
never love her as he did. But what could he say? She was marrying into his
family. Cam would never break a holy vow much less be disloyal to his kin.
Until he sees the bruises on Hayden. Abuse is a game changer.
Leaving a husband like Tag, who has a hot temper, a badge, and a
gun is tricky. When Hayden calls Cam for help, she isn’t trying to lure him
into any romantic webs. She needs someone she can trust and knowing her
soon-to-be ex fears his former NFL cousin is a bonus.
When Cam comes to her rescue, he isn’t doing it to win her love.
He does it because it’s the right thing to do. But if she starts to feel the
same for him…couldn’t it be fate?
Excerpt:
Was she a monster for wanting to be happy? Screw happy. She
didn't start the divorce process so she could be happy. She
wasn't a child. She knew happy was an elusive, often selfish goal.
Being happy was Tag's thing. He wanted every day of his life to be some sort of
party.
She hadn't asked for anything so impressive. She didn't ask for
a big house or a new car. Hell, she didn't even expect vacations. All she
wanted was a simple life, a peaceful life. A life where she knew when her
husband said he had to work late that he truly was working late, not diddling
the bartender or dropping the grocery money into a slot machine.
She'd have been content with a marriage that simply wasn't
miserable.
