Beautiful Bad by Annie Ward

She was visiting her best friend.  They went to a party and she met him there.  Jo had her eye on him but he liked her best.  They dated a bit.  In time they got married.  He moved her to a safe place in England but he's still going out on jobs.  He finally goes into business with his brother and they soon have lots of money.  He plans to retire and stay home with his wife and baby.  They've married for years and she loves her young son and she's in love with Ian.  He has PSTD and she's had a couple of bad injuries and has her own problems.

Park Row sent me an ARC of this book to read for review (thank you).  It was published March 5th.

Ian has fought many wars and to kill his memories, he drink Vodka.  He's not a pleasant drunk and his basement is full weapons.  He acts like the war is coming after him and he has survival supplies in the basement.  This bothers her.

She prefers to keep Charlie with her because she's not sure if he will be safe with his father.  He's gone so much, it's almost like they aren't married.  And Jo talks about him negatively.  She still loves him but she's having her own mind troubles.  She begins writing therapy and when the therapist wants to put her in the hospital she just leaves.

After he's made enough to come home, hopefully for good, she's waiting for him.  It's an ugly moment and will be something she'll never forget.  But she doesn't regret being part of it.

Her brain was as damaged as his.  There's no happy ever after here.
