The Home-wrecker

I've been faithful long enough.

I never claimed to be a good man, but I've always done what was expected of me. Find a nice girl. Get married. Have children. That was my duty as a good Christian. And everything was going as planned when I met Briar. But marriage is hard, and after seven years, I feel like I'm failing. Then, a figure from my past enters the picture.

Dean Sheridan is cocky and charming. When he needs a place to stay, I should turn him away—especially after I notice the spark between him and my wife. But I don't. When I pressure him about his relationship with Briar, he does the last thing I expect. He dares me.

He thinks he can take what's mine.
And if it's a challenge he wants, it's a challenge he'll get.

What started as a game becomes so much more. Between them. Between us. This isn't how normal couples behave. The games we're playing are dangerous. But God help me, I can't seem to stop.

What we're doing is wrong, but it feels so right, and before long, I don't recognize the good husband I used to be.
