Fifteen Years of Secrets, One Last Chance at Love
Fifteen years ago, Joanna Pruitt’s marriage ended with six photographs, a husband’s confession, and a promise she could never trust again.
Wade Callister was the man she loved first—the boy who became her husband, the father of her daughter, and the man she believed would always choose her.
Then she discovered his affair with Renée Hollis, a woman she trusted, and watched Wade walk out without fighting for their life together.
Joanna stayed in Sawyer’s Landing and rebuilt herself one stitch at a time.
Fifteen years later, her father dies and leaves her the warehouse that has served as the Lockwater Saints MC clubhouse for decades.
Now Wade is the club’s president—and the lease is about to expire.
With a developer offering Joanna $1.2 million for the riverfront property, the Saints have less than thirty days to repair the building or lose it forever. Wade asks Joanna for one chance: let the club prove it can save the place without sacrificing her independence.
Working side by side forces them into the same rooms, memories, and attraction.
Then Renée reaches out.
She admits what she did, but reveals something that changes everything. Wade ended the affair before Joanna discovered it. Someone had been watching them. Someone sent the photographs. Someone paid Renée to disappear.
Wade has been carrying another secret for fifteen years.
As loyalties fracture and the truth about Joanna’s father surfaces, Wade must choose between the club, his promise, and the woman he never stopped loving. He takes responsibility publicly—even if it costs him his president’s patch.
Joanna refuses to confuse regret with redemption. If Wade wants her back, he must earn it without shortcuts, excuses, or promises she cannot trust.
But forgiveness is only the beginning.
When the past gives up its last secret, Joanna must decide whether she is walking back into the love that broke her—or choosing a future on her own terms.
He Broke the Vow, She Kept the Scars is a second-chance MC biker romance filled with betrayal, heartbreak, club loyalty, forced proximity, secrets, grovel, healing, and love that begins again after the truth is spoken.
