Forever Love (Mills)

Isaiah Cason is a man of means. His movements are calculated which has earned him respect and success while he smoothly navigates the light and dark. It only makes sense that matters of the heart follow the same blueprint, but he finds himself submerged in a complicated connection of deception and disloyalty. Lake Patterson learned early in life that family can be your biggest downfall. With the secrets she keeps locked away, Lake finds it impossible to stay grounded and maintain any semblance of happiness. Trying to navigate and survive in the world alone, Lake's only goal is to keep her head above water. There is little to no room for anything else. When Lake and Isaiah's worlds collide, they both feel a pull that can't be overlooked nor denied. They are forced to open up in ways neither of them deemed possible, but life has a way of denying happiness, even to those who are most deserving. You can't always break the ties that bind, no matter how much your heart longs to be free. Casualties sometimes can't be avoided, regardless of how pure the intentions of the heart.

Isaiah and Lake find peace in the eye of a storm. Unfortunately, life will not allow the happiness they deserve. Family secrets have a way of tarnishing the strongest bonds, but only if you allow them. For Lake, things are falling in place but an unexpected arrival threatens to destroy the happy world she's transitioning to. Isaiah has lost more than his fair share and refuses to allow anyone to be the reason he loses again. No man on earth will get in the way of what he wants, not even family. When the deals are set and federal agents are involved, Isaiah has to keep a cool head or find himself on the wrong side of a bad situation. Lake is fighting to hold onto a man who makes her whole and Isaiah is struggling to ensure the woman who owns his heart doesn't become a casualty from the consequences of his actions.
