Imagine a woman fighting to be with the man she loves but is trapped in a loveless marriage. The husband will do everything in his power to stop that love. Does this intrigue you?
My current preorder, Sabotaged Hearts is a steamy romance and suspense novel about a coercive marriage, entrapment, and danger from a formidable villain.
Tropes include a forbidden love, enemies to lovers, second chance romance, dangerous love, and millionaire romance.
The novel was inspired by a Turkish show, Black Love that features themes of being true to oneself, murder and loss, honesty in romance, self-sacrifice, fighting against adversity, protecting loved ones, and workplace power.
Here is the blurb:
Natalia thought she had left her first love behind—until her ex-boyfriend, Kristian returns to Melbourne.
Seven years ago, Natalia broke his heart with a lie, hiding the real reason she walked away. Now married to Everitt, a man she doesn’t love, Natalia’s carefully controlled life turns upside down when Kristian reappears.
Determined to keep Natalia away from Kristian, Everitt threatens her former lover and watches her every move. But someone close to them is secretly manipulating events from the shadows, working alongside Everitt to keep them apart.
When Kristian discovers the truth behind Natalia’s betrayal, he refuses to let her go again. But as their feelings reignite, her husband’s possessiveness turns increasingly dangerous.
Can Kristian and Natalia save themselves, or will it turn deadly?
If you love romantic suspense with formidable villains, unexpected twists, and passion, you’ll love Sabotaged Hearts, the first book in Lucy’s Forbidden Love series.
Here are Teasers:
“I am over you, Natalia. You mean nothing to me anymore. That day you broke it off was the day I vowed to never love you again.”
“The man hates me and wants me out of your life. It is as simple as that.”
“But he doesn’t own a gun.”
He does not do the dirty work himself. He has his goons, Natalia. When will you realise that your husband is a dangerous man?”
His mind flashed back to that day, the worst day of his life, when Natalia had broken his heart.
“Don’t you want to get home to your husband, Natalia? I’m sure he’s waiting for you.”
“I told him I’d be late.”
“Right. Does he know you’re having a drink with me, or did you leave that part out? Give him an excuse about working late?”
