Claire has always been a lot.
Loud. Bright. Sunny.
She never thought it would hurt so much to hear that the man she could see herself choosing... only sees her as something to use for those very things.
So Claire does what she does best.
She walks away.
And it works.
Until the bond snaps into place-
And she realizes being with him was never a choice.
It's fate.
And now the man who broke her?
He'll have to prove he's worth keeping.

UNFAITHFUL HEART
Seraphina Calloway always believed she would recognize betrayal if it ever came near her marriage. She imagined it loud. Obvious. Unforgivable. She never imagined it would look like this. Like her husband smiling at another woman the way he used to smile at her. Like late-night messages that weren't inappropriate - just intimate. Like emotional comfort slowly being outsourced. And she definitely never imagined standing outside a glass office in downtown Los Angeles... Watching her husband hesitate before pulling away from another woman's lips. The kiss wasn't hungry. It wasn't desperate. It was worse. It was familiar. And in that single second - She realized she had already been replaced emotionally long before that moment happened. She didn't scream. She didn't storm in. She simply turned... And walked away from the life she thought was unbreakable.Complete
