"My step-brother suspects we're having an affair, Naomi. I never wanted to come between you and him," Raphael said. Naomi held his gaze without blinking. "Are we having an affair?" "In my heart, yes," Raphael said. "Physically, not yet. But I want that to change." She smiled, loving that he'd said it. Before she could respond, he pulled her close. She gasped softly as his mouth found hers, kissing her so deeply it consumed her. ********* Naomi Harrington had always loved her husband. She stood by him through everything, stayed loyal even when he didn't deserve it. But when he pushed her against the wall, and tried to destroy her, she turned her attention to someone else—His step-brother. Loving Raphael became the best thing that ever happened to her. Until the day Allen walked in on them having sex and broke down, crying out of jealousy. Naomi didn't feel sorry for him, instead she laughed. "This," she said, "is just the beginning."

I gave Ben, my husband, everything; Nine good years, my full loyalty and my inheritance. The kind of extreme devotion that holds a marriage together when nothing else does. The day I told him I was finally pregnant, he looked at me like I had ruined something. That was when I started asking questions. And the answers, every single one of them — were worse than anything I could have imagined. I went to his family mansion for one thing. What is mine. I was ready to burn down everything Ben's family built with my own money to get it back. But nothing went the way I planned. Now I am caught between two brothers. One I gave nine years of my life to. A man who won't let me go no matter how hard I pull away. The other arrived like something sent from the underworld; dark, dangerous, and determined to unravel every single thing I am fighting to hold together. I thought my biggest problem was getting my money back. I was wrong.
