Love and Loyalty
(2026)(The first book in the Marriage in Trouble: Short series)
A novel by TB Violet
I married into this town nine years ago, and I still don't know how to win in it.
My husband's mothers have never really liked me, not underneath the cookies, not underneath the smiles. To them, I took their son. To me, they never learned that love doesn't cancel out boundaries.
Hayden keeps promising he'll choose me. He's promised it before. I've believed him before. But somewhere between his mother's tears and nine years of watching him soften every time she cries, I stop asking him to prove it and start asking myself if I even want him to try anymore.
This isn't a story about falling in love. We already did that. This is the harder one, about whether two people who love each other can actually stay chosen, out loud, every single day, instead of just once at the altar.
Book one of the Short Couples series, where every marriage in this small town is more complicated than it looks from the outside.
No cheating. Happily ever after.
Genre: Romance
