Cinders of Betrayal

Power and Passion: Book 3

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

He's the jerk who drives her crazy. She's the nightmare next door. That's what they believe—for now.

Protective single mother Rielle Osborn balances societal expectations and the demands of motherhood with a high-pressure job as a hospital radiology technologist. But beneath her exterior lies a need for emotional connection and the hope for a partner who can love and accept her daughter.

Handsome, easy-going, Boston business owner Heath Bennet is starting anew. After the death of his father and divorce from an unfulfilling, one-sided marriage, Heath moves back to his childhood home.

Animosity flourishes after the two become neighbors. But when Rielle’s ex-husband crosses into the unreliable dad category, Heath gets drawn into a new role.

As the old lies crumble, their unexpected romance slowly burns. The pair look forward to a future together — until hatred and jealousy intrude.
