Hidden Terms
Description
Nathan Reed thought the worst part of betrayal would be discovering it.
He was wrong.
The worst part is realizing how much of your life was built on agreements you never knew existed.
In Hidden Terms, the second book in the Edges of Intention series, a marriage already strained by silence begins to fracture under the weight of suspicion, desire, and inheritance. As Nathan watches the careful order of his home turn into something colder and harder to read, he starts to uncover a pattern that reaches beyond a single act of disloyalty. What first feels like emotional distance soon reveals itself as a more dangerous system of leverage, secrecy, and control.
At the center of it all is Sloane: magnetic, intelligent, impossible to read, and bound to Nathan by more than history alone. Between them lies a relationship shaped by attraction, resentment, old wounds, and the kind of intimacy that survives even after trust begins to fail. As family pressure tightens and hidden obligations surface, Nathan is forced to ask whether love can survive the truth, or whether truth only exposes the cost of staying.
Dark, intimate, and emotionally charged, Hidden Terms is a novel of marriage, power, seduction, and the dangerous relief of finally seeing a life for what it really is.
