All Lindsay MacAllister wants it to make it home to Rivers End in time for her Uncle Isaac’s Christmas wedding. But the universe has other ideas.

Will he risk telling Lindsay he’s never gotten over her and try to convince her he deserves a second chance? Or will his troubled past come between them… again? *** Note from the author: This is a small town, second-chance, sweet holiday romance with a HEA and no cheating.

It can be read as a standalone, or you can enjoy it with the rest of the MacAllisters of Rivers End romance series. 1. Silver Bells (Jenna+Isaac, Beginnings) 2. Tipsy (Shannon+Lucas) 3.

I never expected to find a man tied to a chair, bloody and barely breathing, in my billionaire husband’s forbidden basement—so I did the only logical thing: I stole my husband's money, untied the gorgeous stranger, and ran for our lives.

For six years, I thought my husband Augustus was perfect. I was his princess. But my curiosity got the best of me. When I opened that heavy wooden door to the east wing, the illusion shattered. I didn't just find a torture chamber; I found Brad.

Since that night, it's been a blur of cheap motels, fake names, and colored contacts. I traded my designer dresses for a pocket knife I clutch in my fist every time I close my eyes. I sewed up his brutal stab wounds with my own shaking hands. We are bound by trauma, running from a mafia boss who will slaughter us both if he ever finds us.

Brad is broken, scarred, and terrified of the dark. But as his wounds healed, the terrified stranger turned into my fierce protector. The nights of holding him through his night terrors slowly turned into nights of tangled limbs and breathless moans. He became my entire world.

We finally found a crappy apartment in Arkansas. A place to breathe. But yesterday, the coil wire on our car was deliberately ripped off. And last night, when I woke up in the pitch black, the front door I swore I locked was standing wide open...

Synopsis

In a single devastating evening, he lost it all. His promising career, his hard-earned place at a top-tier university, and the woman he planned to marry. Framed for a crime he didn’t commit, brutally beaten by those he once trusted, and cast aside like trash, Damien Vale stood on the crumbling edge of an abandoned overpass, ready to let the darkness claim him.

Until a crimson interface ignited in the air before him:

[Rebate System Activated]

Every connection he forges, every calculated risk he takes, and every ounce of influence he invests in the right people will return a hundredfold — in power, wealth, secrets, and absolute control.

From the lowest pit of betrayal and ruin, Damien is about to rewrite his destiny. What was taken from him will be returned ten times over. Those who destroyed him will watch everything they cherish crumble. Armed with an unstoppable system and a merciless new mindset, he will build an empire from the shadows, surround himself with unstoppable allies, and savor every second of his ruthless comeback.

Damien Vale is no longer the man they broke.
He is the storm they never saw coming
