If You Fight
(Corrupted Love, #2)
The second book in the unforgettable Corrupted Love series by K.M. Scott, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Heart of Stone and Club X Series!
If you fight, will we last?
Serena
All my life, everyone around me made sure I was weak. My father. My sister. And now the man my father forced me to marry. But Oliver doesn't know what I know. Strength can come even in the hardest times, and if you're willing to fight for love, nothing can stand in your way.
For the first time in my life, I'm fighting back, and with Ryder by my side, I'm never letting myself be weak again.
Ryder
They want us to be their pawns, but I won't let them use her like that. I promised I'd protect Serena, and if it costs me everything in this world, I will.
Even if it means returning to the one place I swore I'd never go back to again.
Excerpt
Trapped in that bed as a captive audience, I
watched as my husband entered my hospital room and noted the look of surprise
in his beady eyes. Thought you got rid of me, did you? Not so quickly, Oliver.
I'm tougher than I look.
Behind him, my father followed, along with
Ryder. Overjoyed to see him, I didn't even attempt to hide how happy I was he'd
come to be with me. I'd pretended long enough for a man who tried to kill me.
Oliver spun around to see who had made my eyes
light up and brought a smile to my face. Pointing his finger at Ryder, he
barked, "Get him out of here! He doesn't belong here!"
Ryder leveled his gaze on him and didn't waver,
but my father spoke up to defend his presence there. "You should be
thankful for him. He's the reason your wife is still alive. If he hadn't found
Serena in time, we'd be meeting to discuss her funeral instead of seeing her
lying there in that hospital bed."
Rage simmered beneath Oliver's façade of worry for me, but he said nothing in
response to my father's dictate, even though I knew how much he chafed under
his orders. He turned back to look at me and as if on cue, he played the loving
husband act like a pro.
Taking my hand in his own far-too-soft hand, he
held it just tightly enough that I couldn't pull away without causing a scene.
"How do you feel, honey? Your father told me the horrible news, but don't
worry. We'll have other children."
So that's how he planned to play it. Would he
say it was an accident that caused me to fall down a flight of stairs in my own
home while he was there? Or would he claim complete ignorance and continue with
the desperately concerned husband act?
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Ryder react
to Oliver's words, his eyes opening wide and filling with anger. My father
watched Oliver carefully, hanging on every word he said like he wasn't sure if
his son-in-law had been involved in hurting me.
