AUTHOR’S NOTE
This is the story of a toxic relationship between two people with unhealed trauma. He cheats on her once, on page, in the first chapter, and they end up together. If you’re down for some messy, dysfunctional love, enjoy. If not, catch you with the next one!

Infidelity themes (the hero shares a kiss with another woman, witnessed by the heroine).
Discussions of infertility and the emotional impact of endometriosis.
The experience of caring for an older loved one with early-onset dementia, their decline, and eventual passing.
The loss of a parent and the grief that follows.
Divorce, and the heartbreak and healing that come with it.

Trigger Warning: In this story, the hero shares a kiss with another woman, which is witnessed by the heroine.
Author’s Note: This book has a happy ending between the main couple; so, if you like romances where the heroine finds a new man, this book isn’t for you. But if you like a book where the heroine-scorned goes scorched earth, and the hero goes full-on grovel, keep reading…

Really OTT

Trigger warning: This novel contains scenes that may be distressing to some readers, including the loss of a parent, the death of a beloved mentor figure, and an act of violence involving a bombing. Please take care when reading or pass on this book if these themes may be triggering for you.

We're putting in a system — if a ranked brother doesn't agree with a decision, he can bring it to a vote in Church. No one should have blind **** loyalty. Not anymore."

I don't understand why romance books have to start off with a random nameless woman in the Hero's bed, no details but still... sigh.

Tmrw!!
