I thought I was the only woman in his life.

We made promises, spoke of love, and I trusted him with everything.

Our hopes and dreams of a beautiful future together were flourishing as we talked about which one of us should transfer, so that we wouldn’t have to be long distance for two weeks out of every month anymore.

We were never a secret. My friends knew and loved him. Our coworkers at my branch office did as well.

Imagine my shock when, after ghosting me, he didn’t come alone during that transfer.

He brought his wife.

The one I never knew existed.

Everyone who knew we were together turned a cold shoulder my way. Suddenly, I was the homewrecker who put his marriage on the rocks.

No one cared that I didn’t know, that he devastated my life, ruined my work environment, and killed some of my friendships.

They didn’t care that he broke my heart and shattered my trust.

Nobody cared about any of it – except his wife.

She was determined to make everything right, and that started with an introduction to her best friend!

*The Cheating Hearts Series are standalone, angst-driven, contemporary romance novels with similar themes. They do not need to be read in any particular order and never have overlapping or continuing storylines. If cheating books bother you, this might not be the book/series for you, though the main characters (who get the happy ending) do not cheat on one another in this story!

VICTORIA:

New Year. New Me.

I resolved to let Devin go after years of living in limbo as his secret sidepiece, even though I was his original girlfriend. Appeasing my brother, his family, and everyone who would judge us for our six-year age difference. I was the older of the two of us and used to babysit him at one point.

Our lives were too messy and he fell for the woman who was supposed to be his beard, after he got her pregnant with his baby. Yeah, I was so ready for the new year and my resolution to leave Devin behind for good.

DEVIN:

I’ve been in love with Victoria Mercer since I was twelve years old, and she babysat me for the first time. That was only one of the reasons we could never make it work. My best friend being her youngest brother was another. Then there was my wife, and the baby she was never supposed to be pregnant with. I let Victoria down while trying to hide our secrets, and now that everything came out, I had an uphill battle to try to right all those wrongs.

New Year. New Resolutions.

No more rumors and secrets.

Victoria would be mine and we wouldn’t be hiding it any longer.

*This book does contain CHEATING. It is a standalone story in the Loved for the Holidays Series. If you are not a fan of cheating by main characters, then you should NOT read this book! There are other potential reasons that you might want to see the author’s note by using the “look inside” feature.

Davina

I walked away from the club the minute those two pink lines showed up on the test.

There were only a few good options for a baby daddy among the club's men, and the odds weren't in my favor that my daughter's father was one of them.

So, I never told them.

Until I had to.

Her life was on the line and my secret might just destroy the happy little life I'd managed to find. Especially, when it turned out the baby's father was the President of the Savage Vipers MC.

Tripp

I married my kids' mom after a one-night stand led to her getting knocked up with my son. Despite leaving my high school sweetheart behind for her, we had a good life until she was killed. Eight years later, I reconnected with my high school sweetheart and when I finally brought her around my kids, history repeated itself.

Our former club girl had a baby. She was sick and needed help. That little girl also turned out to be my daughter. Her mother was a woman I had been interested in but couldn't have because of our age difference and the fact that she was a club girl. Despite all that, she quickly became the one woman I couldn't let go.

*This book is a standalone story, but is better when read after Surprise Me (Tripps younger years).

The Regrettable Mistake is book 2 in the Cheating Hearts Series, but all books in this series are complete stand alone stories.

Ollie

I let nostalgia rule as I made the biggest mistake of my life!

Not knowing how to fix the initial problem led to more problems before it was all over. I was smarter than this.

Now, I had to find a way to silence my ex and convince my wife that my feelings, while faked in the beginning, were more than real.

I never realized that one mistake could careen into something that would change all of our lives forever, but that is exactly what happened.

It was the worst mistake of my life.

My wife was both the problem and solution, if only my ex wasn't standing in the way.

Steph

My twin warned me that Ollie didn't love me.

I should have listened.

My husband only wanted a convenient, live-in nanny/new mommy for his son who his ex-girlfriend abandoned with him when she went to go live her dreams of being a big-time actress.

As I stared at the evidence of my secret while waiting on my husband to come back home again, I knew everything my twin told me was true. I was a convenient wife and nothing more. I had to decide if it was time for me to be selfish or to continue to live the lie for more than one child.

*f you do not like to read stories where a main character cheats on their significant other, then this is not the book for you!
