 The Plans They Made Together Audiobook by Tessa Leigh 

 

I thought we were happy, but nothing prepared me for reality.


When the truth comes out? It's explosive.


I have to make a plan and get out with my kids.

As a wife and mom of four, I believed Cole and I had built our life on solid ground. But when I uncover his betrayal, I’m forced to confront not only the cracks in our marriage but the abuse I had unknowingly accepted as part of our foundation. The lies, the control, the abuse—they weren’t isolated moments. They were a pattern, and now that I see it, I can’t unsee it.

As the distance between us grows, so does my clarity. Counseling, self-reflection, and the unwavering support of lifelong friends become my lifeline. When Cole suddenly suggests moving back to Tennessee, I recognize it as a rare opportunity to create a life on my terms, not his.

Quietly, I begin drafting my plan.

Returning to the Smoky Mountains, The Plans They Made Together, is a story of resilience, renewal, and the courage to rebuild. This journey is more than survival—it’s proof that healing requires movement, and sometimes, the plans you made require a second draft.

Warning: This book contains some depictions of domestic abuse and emotional manipulation. Reader discretion is advised.

He was her late husband’s best friend.

She was never supposed to get this close.

After surviving a brutal ambush and the betrayal of someone they trusted, Jack and Elena are finally building something real on the quiet Colorado ranch left behind. Chickens. Mornings that start with coffee instead of gunfire. Silence that feels like healing instead of danger.

But peace doesn’t last.

When Jack uncovers a map hidden in Declan’s old gear—with his own name scrawled in red—everything tilts. Secrets buried in the ashes of old missions begin to surface, and the quiet they’ve fought for slips away with every unanswered question.

Elena has scars of her own. She’s lived through lies, war, and the kind of marriage made of lies that wound from the inside out. Jack was never part of the plan—but he’s become the one thing that feels safe. Familiar. Maybe even home.

As a ghost from the past resurfaces, bringing danger with it, Jack must confront what Declan knew, what he left behind—and what it could cost the only woman Jack’s ever let himself want.

Grief forged their bond. Now, trust will have to fight to keep it.

A suspenseful, heart-rooted romance about rebuilding after ruin, and the terrifying hope of being truly seen.

Two haunted hearts. 

One unfinished dream. 

And a legacy too dangerous to leave buried.


He saved her life once. Now she’s back—and she’s bringing danger with her.

Jack Harrison likes things quiet. After years in the military and a betrayal that shattered his closest friendship, he’s built a life of solitude on a rugged Colorado ranch. But when Elena Dawson—his late best friend’s widow and the woman he swore he’d never see again—shows up in the middle of a cattle auction, chaos follows.

She’s running from something. Something deadly.

Elena never planned to come back. But cryptic threats, buried secrets, and a list of names her husband left behind have pushed her into the one place she hoped to avoid: Jack’s doorstep. She needs protection, even if he’s the last man she wants to ask. Especially after everything that tore them apart.

Forced to share close quarters while a storm rages and danger circles, their uneasy alliance begins to crack open old wounds—and unearth sparks neither of them are ready for. But trust is a luxury Jack can’t afford. And Elena may be hiding more than just fear behind those tired eyes and clipped sarcasm.

When past betrayals collide with present threats, Jack and Elena must decide: Will they fight together for the future Declan once dreamed of—or be torn apart by the secrets he left behind?

A slow-burn, emotionally gripping contemporary romance packed with heart, danger, and redemption. Perfect for fans of small-town tension, broken heroes, and second chances that feel earned.
