Never trust a billionaire . . . Aaron thinks he can have anything—or anyone—he wants, including me. But when I discovered I was the other woman, I vowed never to see him again. Except he’s not the only one with a secret. When a chance meeting brings us together again, I can no longer hide the truth. Now he wants what’s his—our six-year-old twins. And he insists I’m part of the deal. If I don’t marry him, I’ll be forced to give up my children. I’ll do whatever it takes for the twins, only I’m not the innocent girl I once was, and there’s no way I’m giving him a second chance. But when someone dangerous from my past comes looking for me, I start to see a new side to Aaron that makes me question what’s beneath his need for control. Now the man I vowed never to trust may be the only person who can protect me . . . Aaron’s Patience is book 1 in the Townsends of Williamsport series but is a standalone. The book contains graphic language, violence, discussion of assault and mental illness, and very steamy love scenes. Happily ever after is guaranteed in this BWWM romance.

We weren’t meant to be together, but now we’ve been given a second chance . . . There’s an unwritten rule about your best friend’s boyfriend, and I broke it when I kissed Joshua after Chelsea’s tragic death. I’ve stayed away from Williamsport ever since. Until now. After a recent assault, the town I couldn’t leave fast enough seven years ago has become my refuge. Except I don’t get a warm welcome. Joshua’s anger over the way I left radiates from his eyes like cut emeralds. That’s why I’m surprised when he insists I stay with him to keep me safe. Now he’s a sexy billionaire in charge of a real estate empire, and I discover our old friendship remains. As well as the secret feelings I kept to myself for so long. Acting on those feelings would still be a betrayal, and it’s clear to me that Joshua is reluctant to let another woman into his heart. But when danger comes looking for me again, and I see how far Joshua is willing to go to protect me, will we finally have the courage to admit our feelings and move on from the past?

Destiny I was doing fine. Just fine. I’d long since left my cheating, two-timing, slime ball of a husband, and was doing well making my way in the world. I had a career that I loved as a financial advisor, great friends, and family. I didn’t need for anything. Especially not love. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t completely soured on the whole falling in love thing. However, after having my heart crushed once by the man who claimed to love me and only me, I wasn’t exactly itching to take another walk down that aisle. Especially, not with another athlete of all people. Then, in walks Tyler Townsend. Or rather, I walked into his life. And from then on out, it was a struggle to keep my heart tucked behind the armor of self-defense I’d erected to prevent myself from getting hurt again. Tyler When you know, you know. Or so say, the men in my family. While I was never one to run from love, marriage or commitment, I knew it’d take a strong woman to handle everything that came with being with me. Not only was my family well connected and wealthy, but as one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL, I had made a success of my life on my own. In my world, women came a dime a dozen … or so I thought. All of the teasing I’d done to my older brothers once they’d fallen in love was coming back to haunt me. I just knew it. Because as soon as Destiny McDonald blew into my world, all the games were over. No other woman would do. And I do anything to ensure that she knew it. And I do mean anything. Because this time I’m playing for keeps.

You’ve met my sons. But that’s only half of the story that began over four decades ago. I knew before any of them were conceived who they were, and the men they’d grow up to be. More importantly, from the first moment I touched her, I knew Deborah Tate would be the woman I shared my life with, who would bear my children, and stand by my side as we raised them. Along the way, there were many unforeseeable events, and people who attempted to stand in the way of me claiming what was mine. They’ve all learned their lesson. That I don’t back down. And that what’s mine is never to be toyed with. Now, after decades of silence, I will finally have to share secrets from my past that I’ve never revealed to my sons. But one thing is for certain: I will always protect my family at any cost … Until My Last Breath.
