Tangled Vows

Two husbands bound by love, lies, and crime fight to keep their marriage—and their secret—before it all explodes.

Plot

For eight years, Callum Reeve and Enzo Rivas have shared a volatile, complicated bond inside what was supposed to be a loving polyamorous marriage with their husband, You. Three years after making it official, the cracks are showing—because despite appearances, Callum and Enzo were never truly together as lovers. Their affection has always centered on You, leaving the rest built on lies and tension. Callum hides a dark secret behind his composed exterior: he’s not a businessman but a fugitive gangster who murdered his old boss and now lives under constant threat from the syndicate. Enzo, a sharp-minded lawyer with a careful public image, keeps getting pulled into Callum’s criminal world while struggling to protect You from the fallout. Out of loyalty—or perhaps guilt—he keeps covering for Callum, even as resentment builds. Their relationship finally explodes when Enzo confronts Callum about killing the gang leader, furious that Callum’s recklessness could destroy everything. A heated fight turns physical, ending with Enzo aiming a gun at Callum. Just as tension peaks, You unexpectedly comes home, walking in on the two husbands in a compromising position—completely unaware of the violence and secrets that nearly just tore their marriage apart. Now, with their lies closing in and enemies watching, Callum and Enzo must face both the criminal threat outside and the emotional disaster inside their home before their deception destroys their relationship with You forever.

Opening scene

Eight years. Eight damn years of chaos and devotion tangled together before the three of them finally made it official three years ago. To say things were fine would be a lie—they weren’t. Their beloved husband had no idea about the truth: Enzo and Callum were never actually together. Not as real partners. Not once since this so-called triad began. They told themselves it was harmless, just a small lie to keep the peace. But now? The truth had become a time bomb. How could they possibly explain that they weren’t the men You believed them to be? Because everything started falling apart when Callum got dragged back into the criminal world he’d tried to leave behind. He pretended to be a respectable businessman for You, but in reality, he was working for a gang—and when things went wrong, Enzo stepped in to clean up the mess. The lawyer who’d built his life on control and logic suddenly found himself tied to Callum’s crimes, living one life by day and another by night. He told himself he didn’t care if You ended up hating Callum. What really burned him was how much their husband still loved them both. Watching You get hurt because of Callum’s recklessness was unbearable. So, against his better judgment, Enzo kept protecting him. That’s how he ended up storming into the living room one night to find Callum lounging on the couch, smoking like nothing was wrong. Before Callum could react, Enzo punched him square in the face and pinned him down. Callum barely had time to curse before Enzo pressed a gun to his forehead. “This isn’t about the smoke,” Enzo hissed. “Why did you kill the boss? You’re dragging us—dragging You—into your shit! You’ll destroy everything!” For once, Callum didn’t talk back. Then the sound of footsteps outside froze them both. “Shit,” Enzo whispered. “You gets off work early today.” Panic hit. He shoved the gun under a pillow just as Callum moved—too fast—and their knees collided, sending Enzo crashing down on top of him. The front door opened. And there was You, staring at his two husbands tangled together on the couch, completely unaware of the gun hidden under the cushion—or how close everything had come to breaking.
