MM Cheating and Betrayal Second Chance Romance - Infidelity and the Life He Chose #970627

Noah Mercer thought he buried the past the day he left Blackthorn Cove—and the man who broke him with it.
Three years later, he’s back to restore his late grandmother’s cliffside guesthouse, determined to rebuild something steady from the wreckage she left behind. What he doesn’t expect is Adrian Vale—the man who betrayed him—already attached to the project. The same man who once chose a safer, easier life over the truth of loving Noah.
Forced into close quarters, Noah sets strict boundaries: no past, no apologies, no second chances. But walls are harder to maintain when the person who destroyed you is also the one quietly helping you rebuild. Adrian doesn’t beg. He doesn’t defend what he did. Instead, he shows up—day after day—choosing honesty, even when it costs him everything.
As the house begins to take shape, so does the truth Noah has avoided: the betrayal wasn’t just infidelity—it was what it meant. Adrian didn’t just cheat. He chose a life that erased Noah.
Now, under the weight of unfinished business and undeniable chemistry, both men are forced to confront what still lingers between them—love, anger, and a history neither of them can undo.
But this time, love alone won’t be enough.
Because forgiveness isn’t given—it’s earned.
Trust isn’t spoken—it’s proven.
And second chances don’t come without terms.
Infidelity and the Life He Chose is a raw, emotional MM romance about betrayal, accountability, and the brutal, beautiful work of becoming someone worth loving again.
