Some love stories begin with a choice.
Theirs begins with a threat.
Clara Collins was never meant to become Richard Carter's wife.
She was promised to another man, focused on her studies, and quietly holding her family together. Richard belonged to a darker world, one ruled by violence, loyalty, and consequences that never truly fade. Their lives were never meant to collide.
Theirs begins with a threat.
Clara Collins was never meant to become Richard Carter's wife.
She was promised to another man, focused on her studies, and quietly holding her family together. Richard belonged to a darker world, one ruled by violence, loyalty, and consequences that never truly fade. Their lives were never meant to collide.
Until one night, when survival demanded an impossible decision.
Bound by trauma, silence, and a marriage neither of them chose freely, Clara and Richard are forced into a life shaped by secrets, guilt, and a past that refuses to stay buried. As Clara struggles to reclaim her body, her voice, and her future, Richard must confront the cost of the man he has become and whether redemption can be earned or only endured.
Set against a world of organised crime, fractured families, and uneasy alliances, The Price of Forever is a slow-burning, emotionally intense novel about survival after violence, intimacy after trauma, and the fragile hope that can grow in the most broken places.
This is not a story about easy forgiveness or perfect love. It is a story about what remains when everything else has been taken, and the price of choosing to live anyway.
Perfect for readers who enjoy:
