My Mother's Husband

About this story

Synopsis

Reese Beaumont never planned to come back. Not when she had to deal with her stepfather who she saw as competition for her mother's affection. But when her mother dies in an accident, she is forced to return to the one place she vowed to never step foot in again-the Beaumont mansion. And there he was. The calm, controlled Roman Sutton. He is more attractive than she can remember and living under the same roof with him suddenly doesn't seem like a good idea. Her plan is simple: bury her mother, settle her affairs, and leave for good. But everything changes the night she stumbles across an old ledger in her mother's drawer. All of a sudden, she realizes that she never really knew the woman she came home to mourn. When the demons of her mother's secret life come knocking, Reese is forced into alliance with Roman. Together, they must uncover the truth about the woman they loved before it destroys them. But the deeper they dig, the more danger they find themselves in. And the stronger the forbidden pull between them becomes. First, the house is being watched. Then strangers break in. And someone is willing to kill for something her mother left behind. Between that, a persistently suspicious detective, and the sizzling hot desire that they can't ignore, Reese and Roman have their hands full. With their world crumbling around them, they have no choice but to turn to the only people they have left-each other.
