Retribution — J.L. Campbell

JUSTINE CHARLES is still trying to put the pieces of her life together seven years after a disastrous extra-marital affair. She's raising a troubled teenage daughter and six-year-old Emile, the result of her indiscretion.

A chance meeting drops the still-scorching Xavier McKellop back on her radar. Her former lover is hurt and furious that Justine has kept his son's birth a secret. She has little choice when Xavier demands time with Emile.

Though the moments between Justine and Xavier are tense, it's evident the flame of attraction between them still burns hot. And just as she begins to hope and dream about being with the only man who ever stirred her heart, body and soul, Justine's life is thrown into chaos. Her daughter discovers Justine's betrayal and Xavier's soon-to-be ex-wife wants him back.

This time around, in her quest for love, Justine might not only lose her deepest desire, but everything she holds dear.
