UNEXPECTED
by Aleatha Romig
*Paul* What will happen... when Jenn learns the truth that has been brewing deep inside me? ...when she learns my desires have been restrained? ...when containing them is no longer possible? Will she flee when there’s no place to run? Traveling to the isolation of a tropical island, we agree to lay our marriage and our future on the line. It’s the only way to face the demons—my demons—that threaten our life together. For us to make our marriage work, we must break down barriers, reveal the hidden places, and shine light where darkness has taken root. This reprieve from life is meant to be about us, our marriage, and our future. It is...until the unexpected happens... Will our marriage survive? Will we? This suspenseful, steamy stand-alone novella follows Paul and Jenn Masters, characters previously introduced in the novella UNCONVENTIONAL. This quick, spicy story may be read completely on its own or even before UNCONVENTIONAL. If you enjoy a fast and furious, heart-thundering ride that leaves you breathless and perhaps a bit hot and bothered, check out New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig’s THE VAULT novellas: UNCONVENTIONAL and UNEXPECTED.

This is a marriage in trouble. Six years together and they have kept secrets from each other that can no longer be kept hidden. As a one last ditch act, they agree to go away to a resort for ten days to see if they reconnect and save their marriage.
For Jenn, she has never stopped loving Paul. Her secrets are deep and she has never fully given herself completely to him. For Paul, he needs more than the vanilla sex they share. He needs the submission and complete trust from Jenn. He still loves her but after six years of holding back his needs, it is no longer possible to forward without making changes.
What starts as a wonderful trip full of new experiences and hope soon becomes a nightmare. Both Paul and Jenn are thrown into a situation from which they will both come out changed forever. Can this marriage survive?
Great story and characters in a marriage that deserves to be saved. Loved it! Mature audiences only!
