The Vow Clause

The Vows Clause

A broken engagement. A contract that demands they face the past. And vows that might finally mean something the second time around.

Cassie Tran built her life on control.
Perfect job. Perfect reputation. Perfect walls no one can breach.
Until Ashford Industries drags her back into the one story she swore she'd buried: the man who left her at the altar.

Ethan Hale.
The runaway groom.
The boy who became a headline, a cautionary tale, and the scar Cassie never forgave.

Now Ashford wants them both for a pilot program-the Vows Clause. Six months. Therapy sessions turned into spectacle. Old wounds dissected for an audience hungry to see if broken love can be rebuilt.

Cassie calls it punishment.
Ethan calls it a chance.
The board calls it progress.

But staying in the same room is harder than either imagined.
Secrets spill. The past claws back through every door.
And the vows they once broke are rewritten in fire, silence, and a thousand unguarded moments that feel too dangerous to name.

Because this time, it isn't about walking down an aisle.
It's about whether staying-truly staying-is possible when the person you loved most is the person who wrecked you.

The Vows Clause is a slow-burn, second-chance romance packed with raw emotion, explosive confrontations, and the kind of intimacy that terrifies as much as it heals. Perfect for readers who love:

• Messy, complicated love stories that don't take the easy way out

• Second-chance romance with high emotional stakes

• Strong, guarded heroines and wounded, relentless heroes

• Therapy-room intensity mixed with boardroom drama

• Vows that break, burn, and rebuild into something worth keeping

They've already learned how to walk away.
This time, the only clause that matters is if they can learn how to stay.
