I Faked My Death, He Bled for Me
I faked my death to escape a loveless marriage—only to return years later and find my own grave missing, my family broken, and my supposed widower bleeding out in a cheap motel. I was always the dutiful daughter and the obedient wife, until disease—and betrayal—forced me to disappear. Now, back in Chicago, every secret I buried claws to the surface: my father’s death, my brother’s heartbreak, and Ethan Blackwell’s sudden, desperate return. He risks his life for a woman he never loved—why? As old rivals and buried passions collide, I must decide if I’ll stay hidden, or finally claim the life—and love—I was never meant to have. When the past won’t stay buried, what happens if my heart refuses to die?
