She thought it was a second chance. He planned her undoing. Rowan Langford's life is a flawless facade: devoted mother to college student Harper and four-year-old Lila, wife to reliable but distant Greg. But beneath the suburban perfection simmers a void only one man can fill—Cole Harlan, the bad boy who owned her heart in their twenties. A innocent Facebook message reignites the fire they never extinguished. For a year, they steal moments in shadowy hotel rooms, where passion erases Rowan's boredom and awakens her darkest desires. Cole, hardened by prison and seething with resentment, demands total surrender. Rowan, addicted to the danger, surrenders everything. But Cole isn't chasing redemption. He's plotting revenge for the life she built without him. As their encounters turn from intoxicating to terrifying, Rowan uncovers the truth: this affair was never about love. It was vengeance. In this pulse-pounding dark romance, Laurell Sumerton explores the razor edge between lust and ruin, where secrets shatter and betrayal burns hottest.
