Maxwells

It's been five long years since we last saw one another. Five years since I threatened him with divorce papers that never materialized. Five years since, he torched my body, tortured my soul, and walked out, leaving me alone. Though I have gone on with my life with another, I will never forget how he breathed life into my body, made me cry with the faintest thrust, and brought a smile to my lips on the hardest days. I will never forget what changed us forever. One week with his best friend. Now that he's back, he's just as arrogant and demanding as before. He wants my heart, soul, and me back in his bed. What's worse? He even wants me to be the mother of his child, the one he's conceived with another woman. But it's hard to ignore what he's offering me: answers about our past and the chance at forever with him. The problem with Shepherd Maxwell is that I'm like a moth to a flame when he's around. And going back means I'll only get burned again. Contains mature themes.

It was supposed to be a two-week arrangement that ended when the vacation did. Only Kincaid Maxwell is a greedy bastard; enough is never enough for him. After he's demanded my body, soul, and heart, he wants to own me. As much as I want to give him everything he wants, my past demands that I leave Kincaid alone. Because of my vows, I have no choice but to order him out of my life. Only, the nights in his bed aren't that easy to forget. Nor are they something that I will ever regret. I'm not sure that Kincaid will ever forgive me. He only thinks he knows the truth about me, but there's so much more that he needs to know. And if I can just reach him and tell him my truth, it will change everything. Though he's traveled far away from our charming city of Charleston, South Carolina, I want nothing more than to be where he is. Maybe he can save me from a loveless marriage and heal my brokenness. Contains mature themes.
