Her Marriage Had Teeth

"You never touched her. You told her everything. That's worse." Nora Quill runs sixty acres of orchard on her own hands and grief, and for twelve years she thought she knew exactly what her marriage was made of. Then she found out where her husband's inside life had been going for eight months — not to a motel, not to a body, but to a woman across a screen he told everything he never told his wife. Nathaniel "Steel" Roe is the Blackthorn club's Secretary, the keeper of everyone's confidences, the man who taught a whole clubhouse how to say nothing happened. And nothing did — no photograph, no receipt, no casserole left at the door. He just handed the inside of himself to someone else and left his wife alone in her own house. Now everyone keeps telling Nora she's lucky. That it could have been worse. She knows better. There's no funeral for a drawer. He wants back in. Not with words — words are the thing he's best at, and she's done believing them. If Nathaniel wants a second chance he has to prove it the slow way, one true thing a day, through a whole hard harvest — and give up the one office that ever made him matter to the club that raised him. Her Marriage Had Teeth is a grounded, angsty, character-driven MC second-chance romance about emotional infidelity, the loneliest kind of betrayal, and a woman who chooses from the top of her own life. Quiet, literary, and devastating — this is an emotional-affair reckoning, not a road-and-rivals action MC.
