When smarter people tell you, "Don't," maybe you shouldn't.
In Replacement Children, Charlie Woods’ grandmother told him, “You’ll know you love someone when you can’t imagine hurting or disappointing her.”
For three years, Charlie believed that woman was Desiree.
The shocking end of their marriage sends the former Marine into his pickup to find out who she really was—and why he never saw through the lies she spun, the way she used sex as leverage, or the dangerous ambition that destroyed lives.
He might have found those answers sooner if not for Lauren Granville, a seductive heiress who inserts herself into his search. Her wealth opens doors Charlie could never reach alone, but Lauren controls the direction of the journey, and every path seems to lead back to her.
This time, Charlie recognizes the danger of repeating his Desiree mistake.
The question is whether he can resist it.
