The Thorns Remain

(2021)
A novel by

 
 
I used to be someone: an up-and-coming writer, a doting father, a husband who believed he was the center of his wife’s universe.

Then everything crumbled.

Thanks to Benjamin Grant, I became a joke. A divorced man. A shell. Thirsty for revenge, I needed him to feel the weight of loss like I did.

Enter Josie—Benjamin's wife and the key to my vendetta. My aim was to infiltrate her life, seduce her, and use that to hit my enemy where it hurt most. It was supposed to be straightforward. But as any writer knows, stories rarely stick to the script. Now I’m caught in a plot twist I never intended to write.

Vengeance was the goal, and Josie Grant was my way in.
I never meant to fall in love with her.
Now?
There’s no way out.

REVIEWS ☆☆☆☆☆

"Revengeful, toxic, and so very raw—this love story sinks its thorns into your heart and makes you feel every emotional twist and fall. Unforgettably beautiful." —
Pam Godwin, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today Bestselling Author

"The writing from these two authors was sublime, slowly building and drawing us in, until we were thoroughly caught in an intricate web of lies and deception, which in the right light shimmered with love, passion, soul-searching, forgiveness, and understanding. Evan's POV was one of the most intense and well-written passionate and emotional male POV’s we’ve read in a while. It struck us straight in the heart." —
Totally Booked Blog

"A beautifully written and well plotted book which played havoc on my heart, wringing so many emotions out of me. As readers, all we ask of authors is that they give us something unique which we can sink our teeth into, and these two went above and beyond, giving us that and more on a silver platter. You cannot compare this to anything. —
KAT, Kitty Kats Crazy About Books

"The intensity of emotions, the depth of passions, sucked me under with such a death like grip, I had to stop periodically to breathe through my tears. The poetic justices meted out by the authors becomes entirely overwhelming towards the end. The ironies of role reversals are truly poignant to read. I could ramble all night long about this magnificent book but I urge you, beseech you, to pickup this book on release day and devour it like I did non-stop." —

"It will shock you. It will rock you to the core. The angst will break you beautifully. And trust me, the tears and the pain are all worth it. It will push your boundaries and make you feel all the raw, gritty, complex and confusing feels. If you survive it without wanting to kill the authors, you will win." —
PP's Bookshelf

"There are books that are awesome, you enjoy reading them, & you give them 5 stars. Then there are books like this that are forever engraved into your heart, mind, & soul. I was not prepared for this & you probably won’t be either. Holy WOW! This was a brilliant, soul-changing masterpiece by Jennifer & Chelley. It flowed so incredibly well that I couldn’t tell who wrote what. I’m so grateful to them for giving us a part of themselves that we get to keep forever. What an impact & legacy!" —
