I don’t believe in going backward. Not in business. Not in life. And definitely not when it comes to the woman who broke my heart eight years ago. I learned my lesson the first time. Then she walks back into my life looking way too beautiful for my peace of mind, carrying a messy divorce, a complicated past, and a smile that still completely wrecks me. I should stay away. Instead, I marry her. At first, it’s supposed to be practical. Clean up the headlines. Protect her reputation and daughters. Keep our families happy for once. Simple enough. Except there’s nothing simple about sharing a home with the woman I never actually got over. Not when she still steals all the oxygen out of a room. Not when I catch myself wanting the life we almost had. And definitely not when her little family starts feeling dangerously close to mine. Now I’m stuck playing husband to the one woman capable of bringing me to my knees. Again. Only this time, I’m not the heartbroken idiot she left behind. I’m the man who will choose her until the day I die. NOTE TO The Inheritance Series features standalone happily-ever-after romances. While the books share a connected family and recurring characters, each story can be enjoyed on its own.
