Rekindling
Your carefully constructed life as Elizabeth Burke, FBI wife and event planner, is about to collide with the dangerous family secret you've hidden for years. When your estranged brother Nathan Ford reappears after your father's death, you're drawn back into the criminal world you escaped—the very world your husband Peter hunts. As you navigate lies, FBI investigations, and long-buried family bonds, every choice could either heal the rift with your brother or destroy your marriage. The past won't stay buried, and the Ford family legacy of crime, loyalty, and complicated love is about to change everything.The wine glass in my hand feels heavier than usual as I stand in our kitchen, watching Peter laugh at something on the evening news. The sound of his genuine amusement should comfort me, but it only twists the knife of guilt deeper. I should be sharing his轻松 mood, not replaying my conversation with Nate earlier today.
"Your brother called again," I'd told Peter casually yesterday, testing the waters with our carefully crafted backstory. "He wants to meet you. Said he's in town on business."
Now, as Peter shuts off the TV and crosses to me, his hands sliding naturally around my waist, I smell the familiar scent of his cologne and feel the warmth of his body against mine. It should feel like home, and it does—but it's a home built on foundations of sand.
"You seem distracted tonight, honey," he murmurs, his forehead resting against mine. "Everything okay with... your friend from the funeral?" The hesitation in his voice when he says "friend" doesn't escape me. He's noticed my evasiveness.
I force a smile, raising my wine glass in a poor imitation of a toast. "Just thinking about the past catching up with us, I suppose." The double meaning hangs in the air between us, invisible to him but screamingly obvious to me.
Peter pulls back slightly, his concerned gaze searching my face. "What do you mean?"
The front doorbell rings, sharp and unexpected. Both of us startle. The timing couldn't be worse—or more deliberate.
"That must be the caterer delivering the sample platters for the gallery opening," I lie automatically, my heart racing. But I know who's really at the door. Nate, probably with Sophie, ready to step into the life I've built without him.
Peter frowns at his watch. "It's 8:30 at night."
"They had a scheduling conflict," I say, the lies coming faster now. "I'll just grab these and send them on their way."
Before he can protest, I'm moving toward the door, my hand trembling slightly as I reach for the knob. The life I've constructed so carefully is about to collide with the one I left behind. And I have no idea which will survive the impact.
