Duress (Birch Falls #3)

One woman. Two brothers out to ruin each other. A secret that could destroy all three.

When I first met Everly, the age difference alone led the casual observer to dismiss my feelings as a schoolboy crush, but the truth is, shes had me wrapped around her finger for years

Too bad my callous bastard of a half-brother went and put a ring on her finger first.

Years later, when I am brought into her path again, I can tell she sees the man Ive become just as clearly as shes finally come to see the truth about the monster she married.

He wont let her go without a fight, but hes finally picked a fight I wont let him win just to keep the family peace.

Everly

I never saw myself as a cheater, but I never saw myself married to a monster, either.

The trustworthy man I fell in love with has been warped by power. Now corruption, greed, and manipulation come as naturally to my husband as breathing. He’s even willing to use his brother, Dane’s, unrequited crush on me to manipulate him.

Dane is different. Instead of seeing me as an asset to his image, he sees me for who I am. He looks at me like I am special. For the first time in years, I feel treasured. Important.

Unfortunately, Bryce doesn’t want to let me go and we are tied together by more than just wedding vows. We are bound by a secret that is big enough to destroy all three of us.
