Sarah Taylor is trying to rebuild a life that still feels cracked down the center. Therapy, routine, and the quiet loyalty she gives to her children have held her steady, but the ground keeps shifting. When an unexpected connection begins to spark, Sarah is forced to examine what healing really looks like and whether moving forward requires letting go or finally admitting the truth.
Matt Taylor is trying to fix what broke inside him long before everything collapsed. Success comes easily. Peace does not. No matter how hard he works to outrun the past, it follows him in familiar echoes, pulling him back toward the woman whose absence has carved out more space than he wants to admit. Every choice he makes feels like a test he can’t quite pass.
And Lily Thompson is coming apart at the seams. Her patterns of power, obsession, and beautifully sharpened chaos no longer work the way they used to. Her family pokes holes in the persona she built, pressure closes in on every side, and the one person she can’t stop thinking about keeps blurring the line between danger and desire. Lily has never been good at restraint, and she is even worse at surrender.
Three tangled lives. Three different kinds of ruin.
In the second book of The Cheating Asshole Series, love is messy, loyalty is fragile, and every vow has a cost.
