My Stolen Husband

Evelyn Carter never planned to steal a husband. Cornered by her family’s debts and a marriage arranged to save everyone but herself, Evelyn makes a desperate decision to run. One reckless night on an empty highway changes everything when she hits a wounded stranger and makes a choice that should have been simple—call the police, walk away, let professionals handle it. Instead, she hides him. Lucas Reed was never meant to survive that night. A man with a past that refuses to stay buried, he’s been running from forces powerful enough to erase lives quietly and cleanly. Trust is a luxury he can’t afford—until Evelyn becomes his only shield. When danger comes knocking, Evelyn tells a lie that saves them both. She calls him her husband. What begins as a marriage of convenience quickly turns into something far more dangerous. In a town where everyone watches newcomers too closely, their fake relationship becomes their only protection. Every touch must look real. Every glance must convince. Every moment together is measured by unseen eyes deciding whether they believe the story—or whether they tear it apart. But the longer Evelyn and Lucas pretend, the harder it becomes to separate the act from the truth. Lucas needs Evelyn to survive. Evelyn needs Lucas to stay free. And the people hunting him are no longer asking whether they’re married—they’re watching how far she’s willing to go to protect him. As Evelyn rebuilds a life she never planned in a town that’s already asking questions, she’s forced to confront what she’s truly afraid of: not the danger surrounding Lucas, but the way he’s becoming the safest place she’s ever known. Slow-burning tension, forced intimacy, and emotional stakes collide as survival turns into trust… and trust begins to blur into love neither of them can afford. Because in this marriage, the vows were never spoken. But the consequences are real. And the greatest risk isn’t getting caught. It’s falling for the man she was never supposed to keep
