Ashes

She had been his sole obsession. He would have done anything to have her and he did. She had been a light in his darkness. She had made him want to be more, better, different. Nothing mattered more than her. Until she betrayed him and in a moment of revenge he slept with her stepsister. That one drunken mistake lost him his soul. Oakley Watson had learned at a young age to protect her heart. Not to trust anyone with it. But when Wilder Jones walked into her life, she didn’t just give it to him -she left it at his feet. Their forever ended the day he told her that he’d gotten her stepsister pregnant. A love greater than anything she’d ever imagined had burned so brightly she’d been blinded. But that was nine years ago, and all in the past. The only thing left of the fire that had once been, were the ashes left behind.
