BOOK THREE: SEIZING CONTROL (HEARTBREAK)
The main caveat of the Trinity’s new alliance with the Black Shamrocks MC is clear.
My union with Slash must bear fruit, or Zeke will die.
This requirement is the motivation behind my wedding vows.
The reason I endure the Trinity’s horrific ritual.
My justification for continuing to uphold the promises I made to the two men I love, even as I acknowledge that I’ve been set up to fail them both.
Until the news of Zeke’s untimely demise is announced, and my reason for marrying Slash dies with him.
Now, I am pregnant...
Paternity unknown.
Wed to a man who hates me for my inability to love him most, while our family’s survival hinges on our capacity to make the Trinity believe that our broken marriage is real.
BOOK FOUR: SEIZING CONTROL (AWAKENING)
With my newborn son to protect and an unexpected pregnancy with twins to endure, my patience for my husband’s ongoing absence is fast dwindling. Life continues to slap me upside the head with repercussions from the mistake I made at seventeen. My flagging hope for our marriage merges with my grief, keeping me trapped between my past and my future.
Until a midnight visitor dumps my life on its head, and I discover that I’m at the epicentre of a miracle...
My first love’s resurrection coincides with Slash’s long-awaited return, and their attitude toward the other’s presence devolves into a lesson in contrasts.
On one hand, my husband demands a divorce—a clean break that also includes his son.
Determined to return to my bed, Zeke promises that he’ll never leave me again, even if he can’t publicly claim me just yet.
Captive to duelling desires, I’m left to decide if I should trust a ghost and let my husband go… or fight for a future with them both?
BOOK FIVE: SEIZING CONTROL (REDEMPTION)
Sick of being tormented by the schemes of my conniving first love and my devious husband, I’ve demanded time and space to think. Six months to find my feet as a mother of three before I’m forced to face the fact that I’m in love with two lifelong best friends turned rivals.
Their lies and secrets have put me in the middle for too long, and a grace period to adjust to my new reality is sorely needed. Understanding that the danger we face renders space impossible, I double down on my request for time.
Slash and Lazarus begrudgingly agree…
So for weeks, we exist in the same home.
Doting on our children together.
Dancing around the lust growing between us.
Denying the truth that will set us free.
They push for more.
I refuse to bend.
Because I want them… together.
While they want me… separately.
Leaving us trapped in the midst of duplicity and rekindling, wondering if we will ever find peace… or if we are destined to spend the rest of our lives at war with our hearts?
BONUS NOVELETTE: SUBMITTING LILY
A bonus novelette told from Lily, Slash, Lazarus’ points-of-view.
It’s the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a person is stirring… except for Lily’s husband and her first love. The two men are on a mission, one that the woman they love outlined in a letter more than a year before.
At the time, Lily believed she was purging her thoughts in an attempt to grieve the impossibility of loving two men, different but equal.
Tonight, Slash and Lazarus will make that dream a reality.
A down and dirty reality.
