"You were the love of my life, Shay. It never mattered to me that I wasn't yours." Thanks to her philandering husband, Shayna Chastain's twenty-five-year marriage crashed and burned. But she's no stranger to blindsides and heartbreak. She will do what she has always done: put one foot in front of the other and march forward. It's not easy to do, and her ex is making it even harder. And then there's the new man in her life . . . Sean Parker owns an Italian restaurant that has become Shayna's oasis. Their mutual attraction is instant, but the fallout from their relationship will last a lifetime. Because behind Sean's clean-cut, stylish exterior hides an unsavory past he has no intention of disclosing. What matters to him is right now. And right now, there's no way in hell he's going to lose the only woman he's ever loved. The only woman he can't live without. It could all be perfect, if only her meddling ex would get out of the way . . . Frank Chastain is a steely real estate mogul, who begrudgingly signed the dissolution papers Shayna forced on him. He never wanted to divorce the love of his life, always believed they could work it out. She'll be back. He's sure of it. And, now, more than ever, he needs that to be true. Because he needs Shayna to help him seal the lid shut on the secret that's threatening to destroy him. When the deadly consequences of secrets and lies shatter Shayna's world, she will be left to pick up the pieces, alone, once again. NOTE: This is an alternate cover edition of ASIN# B00FHLKNRW.

"Do you think I'm a monster, Shay?" Shayna followed her heart when she married Sean, knowing that his past actions could destroy them both. His secrets became her burden that day, too. And as much as she loves him, she will never forget what he did to her ex-husband. Or that he rescued her daughter from monsters. She knows her husband is capable of terrible things. And extraordinary things. She married him with her eyes wide open, consequences and conscience be damned. Yet, memories of her ex-husband linger, torment her, remind her that there is a price for keeping secrets. And Sean’s secrets have followed them to Singapore… He always knew his past would come knocking. He planned for it. As a former SEAL, Sean leaves nothing to chance. But this time is different. He has a wife to protect. A woman who says she will love him no matter what lurks in his sordid past. He doubts that. He hears what she mumbles about him in her sleep. And he also knows who else appears in her dreams… Her ex. Sean wants to focus on their future. But first he must lay his past to rest and undertake a personal mission to punish the man who poisoned his soul. It is a reckoning two decades in the making. He has given the orders. The plan is in motion. Everything is under control. Or is it? Because even if Sean survives his last mission, the future is no longer his alone to shape. He has a wife now. A strong-willed woman he cannot control as he has everything else in his life before her. He knows she will demand answers from him about his past if they are to continue their future together. Does she really want to know everything about him? Careful with the questions. The answers cannot be unheard… And the truth may force him to set her free.
