Forgotten Desires (Whitlock Family, #4)

by Corinne Michaels

“What? What are you doing? Who the hell are you, Brynlee? You’re marrying someone no one has ever met before!”

Isn’t Brynlee older than 25? And Grady and Rowan both work for Carson?

“No?” he asks, pulling my left hand up between us. “I didn’t win you, Bee. I didn’t do or say all the things I should’ve. I married you so that my custody case wasn’t blown. I married you so that you’d have insurance and the means to save your father. We married for other people and while all of it makes sense, I’m having a really hard time remembering it. Because when I look at you, in this house, on that couch where we slept, all I can think about is what a fucking asshole I am to have taken something else from you. So, yeah, I stole you, and now, I plan to try to earn you.”

I fight back a laugh. “I don’t think I was that bad. I wasn’t even thirty.”

Anyway, I’m reading this book about a Hollywood heartthrob named Dash, who comes back to his hometown, and he sees this girl whose family owns a diner in this small town and he’s her best friend’s brother.
