Two Steps Ahead

By Dawn Cloud

When love turns toxic and marriage turns lonely, two best friends must decide what they're truly willing to sacrifice in Dawn Cloud's bold and emotionally charged debut.

Leilani Benjamin knows better than to romanticize the past. But when her toxic ex-fianc reappears with apologies, promises, and memories she never truly let go of, she finds herself slipping back into a relationship that once nearly destroyed her. Even as a kind, steady new man begins showing her what healthy love could look like, Leilani can't stop craving the chaos she swore she'd outgrown.

Her best friend Gia Morgan is fighting battles of her own. After years of feeling overlooked in her marriage, Gia is tired of begging her husband for the attention and intimacy that once came so easily. When another man begins giving her everything she's been missing, temptation quickly blurs the lines she never thought she'd cross.

As secrets unravel and emotions spiral, Leilani and Gia are forced to confront uncomfortable truths and the messy consequences of chasing fulfillment in the wrong places.
