Reckless

Walking out of a toxic marriage came with a firm rule about men, and Theo breaks it simply by standing in the room. Elsie Silver writes the attraction as resistance being worn down: a small-town bar, confessions that arrive faster than intended, one night meant to be filed away and forgotten. The heroine wants something uncomplicated and Theo is nothing of the sort, and a pregnancy makes the whole arrangement impossible to keep quiet. The push and pull between self-protection and wanting more carries the book from first meeting to the choice neither of them can dodge. At a glance: • Contemporary romance built on a secret that refuses to stay hidden • An emotionally guarded heroine leaving a difficult marriage behind • A persistent hero who reads as trouble and behaves otherwise • Adult content and mature themes throughout For romance readers who like second chances, small-town settings and high emotional stakes.
