Forgivable Sins by Adelaide Forrest

Samara:
They say love heals all wounds.
If only I knew what love was.
What my failed marriage taught me is that I don’t have the first clue. I made the wrong choice, and I’ll have to live with the consequences of it in silence. Because if Lino learned the truth, I’d lose him to the darkness that lurks just beneath the surface.
I’ll do anything to keep that from happening, to keep the Lino I love in my life. But he’s the only one who makes me feel, the only one who can break through the walls I’ve built to see the secrets I keep.
But I can’t let him in.

Lino:
She’s my everything.
I’ve loved her since the day I first heard her sing, since the day I told her I would marry her at ten years old. But my father’s cruelty knows no bounds, and I made the biggest sacrifice of my life to protect her.
When her ex-husband’s gambling debt puts her at risk, I’ll do anything to keep her safe. Even if it makes her hate me.
And I won’t stop until she’s my wife.
