"We accept the love we think we deserve."—Stephen Chbosky. 

* 

In the wake of her parents' disavowal and eventual passing, Alexandra yearned for love, attention, and support, finding solace in her husband, his sister, and his mother. Her life was a portrait of contentment, its harmony seemingly unshakable. Yet, a web of lies and accusations spun by an outsider waited to unravel her world.

When her vengeful ex resurfaces to sow chaos, Alexandra's life takes an unexpected turn. But is he truly the root cause of her troubles? Her marriage is tested, leaving her to ponder whether it can be rebuilt, or if a fresh start is the answer. But can the pain inflicted ever truly be erased?


Trey's happiness was not defined by wealth, but by the love of a woman who couldn't recognize her own inner and outer beauty. He never anticipated a day when their perfect life would crumble, let alone being the one to inflict pain upon the woman he adored.

What transpires when he confronts the magnitude of his mistakes and unravels the truth behind it all? Will he be willing to pay the price, even if it means sacrificing much, to reclaim the love he once held so dear?

Is she... worth the fight?

Worth The Fight - A Tale of Love, Lies, and Redemption

After their friends had left, Trey had set up a salt bath for her to help relax her even more, and she'd asked him to tell Mitch to do same for Sam if he hadn't already. It made Trey smile; how concerned she was about someone she'd met not long ago, so he'd fulfilled her wish. 


She'd also requested he get in with her, and though he hadn't expected that, he definitely didn't turn her down or question it. He'd stripped and slipped in with her, kneading her stiff muscles till she sagged against him. Then he'd kissed and loved on her, suggesting she get out when the water lost its warmth. 


She had, and he'd dried her off, wrapped her in another towel, and carried her to his bedroom (which had become theirs again), laying her on the bed before going off to get her clothes. He gave her warm clothes before going off to get dressed himself.
