Life to Please by C.K Kadwo

She escaped her marriage with bruises she couldn't see and a six-year-old boy who still believed she was magic.

Kathy Cole returns to the rain-soaked town of Breshtle with nothing but a suitcase, a secret, and a determination to start over. But Ben — her brilliant, calculating ex-husband — has never accepted that she left. He doesn't shout. He doesn't threaten. He simply makes sure she never feels safe.

Then Kenneth walks into her life. Dangerous. Magnetic. A man with blood on his past and fire in his eyes. He offers her protection. She takes something more.

But between Ben's obsession, Kenneth's secrets, and a town full of people watching her fall — Kathy realises that surviving was never the hard part.

Choosing herself is.

Life to Please is a bold, breathless romantic suspense novel for readers who love strong women, complex men, and stories that refuse to flinch.
