The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

When Craig married Aurora, he was flat broke a real nobody. She never minded, not even a little. But looking back, he knew he'd let her down.

Insecurity was always their biggest problem. Aurora tried a million times to get him to drop it, to show him she never looked down on him—not her, not her parents. But Craig, with his pride wound up tight after a lifetime of feeling less-than, just couldn't let it go. He always put his ego first.

And in the end, that's how he lost her.
