Marriage In Trouble Second Chance Romance - Betrayal in Both Directions #970762

"The cruelest thing about the way they broke each other was that neither of them meant to.

The second cruelest thing was that it didn't matter."

Paityn Hutchinson stopped counting the number of times she said not yet.
Korbin Shaw stopped counting the number of times he believed her.
Seven years. Five fights. Two people who loved each other completely and lied to each other quietly — in different directions, for different reasons, until the night the whole truth arrived in the same kitchen at the same time and there was nowhere left to hide.
She had been secretly preventing the pregnancy he believed they were trying for.
He had been secretly trying to force the one she kept promising was coming.
No villain. No innocent party. Just two people who broke each other in the specific and private ways that only people who know you completely can break you — and a marriage that didn't survive the finding out.
Ten months later, her mother is losing her mind piece by piece in an Austin house that echoes. And the only person Paityn trusts with the woman who raised her is the man she destroyed.
So she calls him.
He comes.
And now they are in the same house, in the same rooms, navigating the wreckage of everything they did to each other — while Paityn's mother, somewhere between decades in her own mind, keeps asking the one question neither of them has answered.
When am I seeing my grandkid?

Betrayal in Both Directions is a marriage-in-trouble, second chance romance for readers who want their love stories to cost something. No easy forgiveness.

No convenient grand gesture. Just two broken people in a Texas house, choosing honesty over safety — one conversation at a time.
Because some loves don't end.
They just wait for you to stop lying.
