Aftermath: Passion, Betrayal and a Dangerous Game

by Stephanie Tyo

Sophia can’t escape the pull of her past. After discovering Taron's marriage to Madeline, the guilt and betrayal should have severed their connection—but the desire between them remains as fiery and dangerous as ever.

When a chance encounter reignites their passion, it sets off a chain of events they can’t control. At a charity event meant to heal, their secret affair is rekindled in a reckless moment of desire.

Madeline, sensing something is amiss, grows suspicious—and her retaliation begins. As the stakes rise, so does the danger. Taron faces a fight to save the marriage he's struggling to repair, or the woman he cannot forget. With Madeline’s fury escalating, the consequences of his choice could shatter everything.

It has a passionate suspense up to the explosive cliffhanger!

Very well written, the characters are magically unraveled and build back up.

This is a beautifully written romantic suspense. It's intriguing and you just can't stop reading. Taron and Sophia's story is so good but will their dangerous desire for each other do them in?
