True Red

Family legacy Billionaire ex-husband Protective cinnamon-roll hero Established couple Found family. This is a steamy, high-emotion, family-secrets, high-society, established-couple contemporary romance with a hard-won HEA.

They found love. They fought to keep it. Now Ali and Sam have to learn what forever really means.
Ali Stinson finally has the life she fought for.
She has Sam. A wedding to plan. A book of her own about to be published. And a future that finally feels like hers.
Then one phone call sends her back to California.
Her father is in the hospital. Her estranged mother needs her. And somehow, her ex-husband Jack is living in the family home and running Stinson Studios like it already belongs to him.
Then her father’s will delivers one final blow. The family company can pass to Ali’s husband. It can someday pass to her son. But it can never pass to her.
Ali has spent too much of her life being told what she deserves. This time, she refuses to let another man decide her future—even if the man offering to save her is Sam.

Sam Harrington has always known how to rescue the people he loves. Standing back is another story.
While Ali fights for her family legacy on the opposite coast, Sam throws himself into work and tries to give her the space she asked for.
Then Victoria starts calling.
The woman tied to the darkest years of his past still knows exactly which wounds to press, and every new crisis pulls at the part of Sam that believes saving everyone else might finally make up for the brother he couldn’t save.
But loving Ali has taught him something he never expected. Sometimes love means stepping in. Sometimes it means letting go. And sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stand beside the person you love while they fight their own battle.

When Ali’s ex’s grip tightens, old secrets surface, and the past comes after both of them at once, Ali and Sam will have to decide whether the love they’ve built can survive one final test.

Because forever was never supposed to be about rescuing each other. It was supposed to be about choosing each other.

True Red is the steamy, emotional conclusion to Ali and Sam’s romance, filled with family secrets, found family, high-society drama, a fiercely protective cinnamon-roll hero, hard-won healing, and the happily ever after they’ve been fighting for since the beginning. There are no love triangles, no cheating, and no cliffhangers. Ali and Sam receive their full, final HEA.
