Second Chance

From New York Times best-selling author Corinne Michaels comes a new emotional and riveting standalone love story. One night, eight years ago, she gave me peace. No names. No promises. Just two broken people, desperate to quiet their pain and grief. In the morning, she was gone and had taken my solace with her. I left for the military that day, vowing never to return to Pennsylvania. When my father dies, I’m forced to go home to bury him. At least I'll finally be rid of his farm, which is grown over and tangled with memories I've fought to forget. And that’s when I find her. She’s even more beautiful than I remember and has the most adorable kid I’ve ever seen. Years have passed, but my feelings are the same, and this time I refuse to let her go. They say you can't bury the past, and they're right. Because when long-ago secrets are exposed, rocking us both to the core, I have no choice but to watch her walk away again....

He promised to love her forever... But then he walked away, destroying them both. —Maddie—I've loved Hendrix Cole all my life. I was seven when I met him. Thirteen when I first kissed him. Sixteen when I gave him my heart. And eighteen when he gave me his ring. Hendrix swore to love me forever. Instead, he broke my heart. Scarred my soul. Destroyed my entire world. Six years later he wants a second chance. Problem is, I don't trust him. Not to mention, I have a secret. One which will destroy us both. Only two questions remain... Are we beyond redemption? Or will true love prevail? Warning: Contains triggers.

"I want a divorce." That’s the first thing she says to me after a decade of silence. And we’re not even married yet. Her demand, the way her grandmother talks to her, and how she’s treated by the town trigger me. This is just a business arrangement that’ll save both our ranches, neither of us want this marriage, but I’ll keep her safe by making her my wife. My wife. Those words are as powerful as her first ones to me. The rings on her finger are temporary, so tell me why I want them to remain there permanently?

They claim to want to protect me. I’m not dumb enough to fall for that twice. Seven years after they shoved me off a bridge to my death, the awkward teenagers I grew up with had grown into sexy yet ruthless killers. But their black souls and our shared past couldn’t keep me from wanting their hands all over my body, even after all these years. After what they’d done, I didn’t feel bad using them for protection. Rowan, Nash, and Angel Blackwood were devils in disguise. Better the devil you know, right? She’s everything we can’t have. But we’ve never let that stop us before. Impeccable knifework was what the Skeleton Crew was known for. But our empire was based on a the first job we ever took. Our father married for money–and his new bonus brat was our first target. Seven years after we slit her throat and shoved her into Dread River, we came face to face with her ghost. And our greatest weakness.
