A Betrayal & Grovel Romance - The Cost Of Keeping You #987431

I find hidden things for a living.

Then Marcus Hale became the one secret I never saw coming.

He was brilliant. Powerful. Impossible to read. A man who listened like every word I said mattered, then made me want things I had been too careful to name.

For a year, every Thursday belonged to us.

The wine. The arguments. The slow-burn tension. The way he looked at me like I was the only truth in the room.

Then I discovered what he had done.

A story buried.

A choice made in my name.

A betrayal dressed up as protection.

Now Marcus wants the chance to prove loving me does not mean controlling the cost of keeping me.

But I built my life on facts, not apologies.

And if he wants me back, he will have to learn the one thing he should have known from the start:

My story was never his to save.

The Cost of Keeping You is an emotional betrayal-and-grovel romance filled with a powerful developer hero, a brilliant forensic accountant heroine, professional secrets, slow-burn tension, public scandal, painful accountability, forced emotional reckoning, hard-earned trust, and chemistry intense enough to make forgiveness feel dangerous.
